Loom weaving
Weaving is one of the oldest crafts in human history. Over the centuries it has carried the traits of different civilizations and interacts with its time. For a second year in a row, the journey of warp and weft begins again at FOUGARO ARTCENTER.
We are inspired by the collection of the Arts & Humanities Library of FOUGARO ARTCENTER to make traditional motifs on our loom.
