Title: Textile Arts: “Sakiori Weaving”
Description: Discover the beauty of sustainable textile art in this hands-on Sakiori weaving class. Sakiori is a
traditional Japanese technique that gives new life to worn garments by cutting them into narrow
strips and weaving them into vibrant, textured fabric. In this class, students will learn how to
prepare old clothing for weaving, set up a frame loom, and create a one-of-a-kind woven piece
using repurposed materials. Perfect for beginners and fiber enthusiasts alike, this workshop
combines history, creativity, and eco-conscious making.
Instructor: This class will be taught by local weaver Emily Wallace. Emily has been teaching weaving, spinning, and other fiber arts to the public for over 10 years. She previously owned a yarn shop in Hartselle, AL and has taught various workshops at several yarn shops and studios. She currently has a weaving studio at Lowe Mill Arts (studio #311) where she teaches and sells handwoven items. She also lectures about using conservation breed wool and the history of spinning and weaving.
