We are thrilled to invite you to our Spinning & Weaving Week activities, featuring special guest Florencia Campos Correa from Chile! Florencia is a Santiago, Chile based industrial designer, weaver, teacher, and author. She founded her own brand of knitwear, Ullvuna, and then decided to turn each creation into DIY kits and patterns to let anyone make their own versions. Florencia specializes in small weaving looms, combining them with knitting, crocheting and other needleart techniques. Her latest book, Oversize Projects on a Pin Loom features pin loom patterns as well as full instructions for garments made from Zoom Loom squares. You can learn more about her work at www.ullvuna.cl.
Join us for an engaging lecture, inspiring exhibition, and various activities throughout the week. This page will be updated frequently so stay tuned for all upcoming events!
