Card weaving is an ancient technique, thousands of years old, that allows the creation of exceptionally strong and visually stunning patterned ribbons, which were once important elements of traditional dress and everyday objects.
The special feature of this technique is that the weaving cards threaded with yarn can be turned and moved individually, so by establishing the correct sequence and rhythm, the pattern seems to unfold before our eyes as if by magic.
This four-day workshop session can be a continuation of the summer card weaving camp, but we also welcome new participants. During the session, building on the basics, we move forward: we learn new patterns and weaving solutions, and greater emphasis is placed on interpreting pattern charts, precise threading, conscious manipulation of the cards, and independently following more complex pattern structures.
At the advanced level, we work with more cards, finer yarns, and more complex weaving procedures. The finished ribbons naturally serve not only for practice: the possibilities hidden in card weaving are virtually inexhaustible.
The ribbons we create can be made into belts, costume or home textile decorations, jewelry, bag or basket handles, leashes, halters, guitar straps, or any other special object to which we want to give a unique character.
During the January weekend, we get acquainted with the secrets of the underutilised 3-hole card, while at the May workshop session we weave and design "Paired patterns" on 4-hole cards.
Theoretical and practical leader of the workshop: Judit Kamocsay, folk artisan.
Workshop duration: 2026. szeptember 30.
