Across cultures and continents,it has shaped the way we create cloth and engage with materials in oureveryday lives. In this introductory workshop, Moe Kim, textile designer and founderof Moe Kim Textile Studio, invites you to explore weaving as both atraditional craft and a contemporary design language. Her practicecombines traditional weaving techniques with experimental materialapproaches to create modern textile works. This masterclass begins with a short introduction to textiles andthe history of weaving. You will then explore basic textile structuresthrough hands-on paper weaving exercises, allowing you to understandstructure and composition in a simple and accessible way.We then move onto a weaving frame, where you will learn threefoundational binding techniques (plain weave, basket weave, twillweave). Through these processes, you will gradually build your ownwoven sample and complete a small coaster. In this workshop, the warp will be made from cotton, a strong andstable fibre that holds tension well, making it especially suitable forbeginners. The weft will use mohair, one of Moe’s signature materials,valued for its soft, diffused quality that evokes a subtle sense ofnostalgia. When brushed, the fibres open up to create a fluffy,voluminous texture, adding depth and softness to the final piece.The workshop is designed for beginners, and no prior experience isrequired. All materials will be provided, and participants will leave withtheir finished woven piece along with a foundational understanding ofweaving techniques to continue exploring at home.
