with Malavika Rao

In this two-part workshop, participants will build a functional frame loom entirely from clay before returning in part two to learn the fundamentals of tapestry weaving on the loom they’ve created.

Session One: Building the Loom
Design and construct a ceramic frame loom from clay, considering both form and function as you create a reusable weaving tool. We’ll discuss how looms have historically been handmade and how the tools we use shape the textiles we create. Participants will choose a glaze color, and your looms will be fired between sessions.

Session Two: Learning to Weave
Using your completed looms, participants will learn foundational tapestry weaving techniques, including plain weave, color changes, creating texture, and finishing methods. Working with a variety of reclaimed yarns and fibers, each participant will begin a woven textile while gaining the skills and confidence to continue weaving long after the workshop concludes.

No prior weaving or ceramics experience is necessary.

Workshop Details:

  • Dates:

    • Part One: Saturday, October 17th

    • Part Two: Saturday, November 7th

  • Time: 12pm - 3pm

  • Location: 850 N Virgil Ave, Los Angeles

  • Duration: 3 hours

  • Skill level: No experience required!

  • Malavika Rao is a multidisciplinary artist and educator primarily working in painting, fiber, and installation. malavika's practice recontextualizes practices of homemaking as methods of worldmaking, using craft to heal generational trauma and tend to the fragile relationship between care and survival. In their installations, malavika employs various crafting practices as modes of speculative world-building—creating spaces to interrogate inherited structures of care and propose alternative relational frameworks grounded in reciprocity and collective sustenance.
