Every Wednesday afternoon, our Saori weaving studio welcomes children for a time of creativity, discovery, and relaxation. Saori is a form of Japanese weaving that is free and rule-free: there are no patterns to follow and no such thing as a mistake—just the desire to create using one's hands and imagination. It is an ideal activity for developing concentration, fine motor skills, and self-confidence!
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!
