Come learn one of the oldest textile arts in the world – naalbinding. Textiles created with this technique have been found the world over and date back to 6500 BCE. Naalbinding, literally “needle binding” in Norwegian, is a yarn looping technique using a single needle.
In this class we will learn the basics of naalbinding to make a hat using the Oslo stitch. No prior experience is required, just a good attitude and a willingness to learn. Students should plan to work on their project in the day between classes so they can troubleshoot issues with the instructor on the second day of class
Cost: $93
