Weave Workshop - half day
From €56 euros per person (transport incl.)
All of our handwoven rugs are crafted in our own atelier using the recovered and almost long-lost technique of the Berber knot. Found nowhere else in the world but in the Atlas Mountains, the Berber knot adds a deeply unique texture and denomination of origin to the craft.
In this half day workshop, you will learn how to thread up and weave on a simple wooden frame loom using our Henna dyed wool.
You will also learn about traditional Amazigh (Berber) symbols as used by the weavers in their carpet designs and how to incorporate one of these into your design using flatweave techniques and the unique Berber knot.
At the end of the workshop you will cut the work off the loom to take with you. You also have the option to purchase the frame loom for a small additional cost and take it away with you to continue weaving at your leisure.
