Workshop | The Smartphone Meets its Ancestor with John Brooks
Advertisement
Join us here at the gallery for a workshop inspired by our current exhibition, Petite Miniature Textiles 2026.
Basic handloom weaving relies on horizontal (weft) threads intersecting with vertical (warp) threads. Through a series of sliding door moments of invention and iteration, the weaving loom evolved into the computer, which lead us to the smart phone.
In this engaging workshop, participants will be guided through a basic weaving exercise to create a small piece of fabric, using textile waste and returning their smartphones to their original function as a tool for weaving.
