In a fast-paced world, weaving allows time to relax and enjoy handiwork. The peaceful art of tapestry weaving is being offered in a three-hour course at aléas creative studio this month.

Participants will learn frame-loom weaving basics, from warping to tapestry. The workshop will explore texture, structure, and materiality using natural fibers and carefully sourced objects like dried botanicals, shells and stones.

A cozy Shanghai textile studio, aléas, focuses on leisurely craft, natural dyeing, and manual procedures. Its workshops allow you to escape the daily grind and enjoy handiwork.
