Sampling: Experimentation through Material Play
This workshop will engage sample-making as a practice of playful experimentation and critical inquiry. Starting with hand weaving techniques on portable tapestry looms and moving to floor looms to explore more complex patterning, participants will create collections of swatches that explore the possibilities within a single loom set-up or material question. Sampling will be supported by guiding prompts, written reflection, and documentation. Participants will be invited to learn from each other through skill sharing and group discussions. All levels welcome.
