WEAVING
Basically, weaving consists of passing
threads through a series of horizontal
threads, known as the weft, and
through the vertical threads, known as
the warp. Weaving is one of the most
ancient forms of human creativity. Baskets and textiles would not have
been possible without weaving
There are many different skills involved in weaving. You can start
practising now!
1. Procedure:
6. Continue this process alternating over and under with each weft
thread. If the previous weft thread went under the warp thread,
the following row will begin by going over the warp.
Follow-up activities:
- Make an abstract composition using the strips of card to create
different effects.
Extension activities:
- Experiment with other effects to expand the sample sheet,
inventing and discovering as you go along.
