Hands-On Learning with Modern Treadle Looms:

Our course focuses on hands-on learning, using 2-shaft modern treadle looms that mimic traditional looms. These ergonomic looms make it easy for beginners to start weaving within minutes.

Course Curriculum:

- Prepare warps and dress the loom
- Master basic weaving techniques
- Learn iconic Indian handweaving techniques, such as Korvai and temple border motifs
- Explore extra weft motifs, including jamdani and Buttas
- Live demonstration of extra warp techniques, Jala/ Adai, and traditional piecing methods like Petni.

Project Work:

After completing the learning sessions, participants will work on a project individually to weave a scarf from scratch, selecting yarn colours, participate in preparing the warp & dressing the loom and weave the scarf applying the techniques learnt.
