Jewelry Making: Bow Loom Weaving with Marilyn Romatka
Let's make some Jewelry!
The Bow Loom is an ancient technique using a simple, portable loom to make narrow, beaded bands. The technique is used in ethnic groups in Thailand to make bands for their exquisite headdresses. The weaving is quick and fun and so portable, you can weave on the bus. No previous weaving experience is necessary and the loom goes home with you for many more hours of fun and creativity. This is a great introduction to ethnic weaving. The product of this class may be viewed at www.taprootfolkarts.com
