This one-day workshop is divided into two parts. In the morning, from 9am to 1pm, there's free and creative weaving based on the SAORI concept.
After a well-deserved break, seamstress Kun takes over from 2pm to 5pm. She will help you to make an object from the fabric you weave in the morning.
You'll go home with a finished, unique and personal piece of work that you've made from A to Z.

In 2017 I created my brand, ‘Les créations de Kun’, for which I design and make mainly women's clothing, one-off pieces or mini collections. In my work, I try to give back the soul to all of these fabrics and give them a new life. I also do a lot of embroidery, because embroidery is like drawing on fabric.
My work is at the crossroads of contemporary Western fashion and traditional Chinese craftsmanship. That's why I'm so interested in MEG's collections of clothing and textile objects, from Asia and elsewhere. Being in contact with them would be an invaluable source of inspiration for me, one that could deeply nourish my creativity.
After spending thirty years restoring paintings, I fell into textiles. Sewing, embroidery and knitting have always interested me. Wool spinning and weaving came into my life twenty years ago, when my husband and I took over a family estate in Norway and raised a few sheep. I first taught myself how to process wool and then, to improve my skills, I joined a group of peasant weavers who met weekly. I'm particularly interested in traditional wool and linen techniques, and I use my wools dyed with plants and mushrooms to produce textiles for the home and for clothing.
After the meeting of an elderly lady weaver, I started weaving as a teenager, as a self-taught enthusiast. After a long break, I stumbled across an ARM loom at a flea market! I immediately started weaving again with the desire to learn a bit more; so I started training as a weaver at Filambule with Danièle Mussard. I've finished the course and feel I've got everything to discover! Now I'll be able to take the time to learn more, experiment and explore this infinite world of yarns, materials and colours... with enthusiasm!
