This class introduces students to Telar de Mapuche, the Mapuche style loom and band weaving techniques. Highly portable and perfect for travel or weaving sample bands, in this class, students will learn to weave bands on the ingenious, yet simple frame loom. Students will learn how to warp the loom for plain weave and pick-up techniques. No previous band weaving experience is necessary.
