Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The London Loom is a weaving studio in Hackney in East London, founded by Brooke Dennis and Francesca Kletz. Brooke and Francesca’s aim is to build a community of people who love making things with their hands, promoting the therapeutic benefits of crafting. Their customers are encouraged to learn new, substantial craft skills, to create things that are a joy to make and that they want to keep. The London Loom hosts community workshops and smaller classes where adults and children work alongside each other, inspiring creativity from your neighbour no matter what age or joke-range. Ultimately it’s about sharing the good that everyone feels from learning new skills and making beautiful, tactile things. Brooke and Francesca also teach and host a range of alternative craft classes as well as their beginners weaving classes. It’s good, substantial and occasionally obnoxious fun.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Weave This is a truly stylish introduction to weaving. Using a range of colourways, from vibrant and bold neons to Navajo-inspired prints, Francesca Kletz and Brooke Dennis teach you a whole host of loom weaving techniques. The book focuses on handheld tapestry looms, which can be made out of anything from an old wooden frame, to sticks and cardboard so simple to make yourself. Chapters cover how to warp (prepare your loom), create tassels, macramé, bubbling, basket weave and more. The projects are more contemporary than in your average craft book you ll learn how to make eclectic tapestry wall hangings, lampshades, bags, baskets, frames, rugs, charms and accessories. Decorate your home with a Mondrian-inspired wall hanging or channel the 80s with a Space Invaders design. All the designs can be customised so once you've learned the basics, you can stamp your own personality and style on them all.
