MAWA: Backstrap Weaving Workshop - Kay Seng
April 13, 10am – 4pm at MAWA
Cost: $30; some bursaries available; all materials provided
Registration Deadline: Friday, April 5, 2013, 4 pm
Please register and pay online or email. Put “Backstrap Weaving” in the subject heading.
Everyone welcome! Places are limited.
Backstrap weaving is portable and inexpensive—ideal for those who lack space and financial means for a table or floor loom, or would like to be able to take their weaving on the road. The results are stunning.
In 1995, Seng, her husband and four children were driven from their home into Thailand. They spent the next 11 years living among 15,000 fellow refugees, sleeping on the ground. Seng supported her family selling clothing and blankets woven on her handmade backstrap loom to foreign visitors.
We were the first family to come to Canada for our resettlement. I wondered how can I earn? So I decided to bring my loom with me.
