Belt Weaving Workshop

During this workshop, each participant will make their own sash, approximately 1 1/2" thick and 3' long using a table loom. The sashes will be shorter and more narrow than a regular sash, due to time limitations and participant experience.

$10 to contribute to supply costs.
Each person will take home their sash.
Max capacity: 5 people

Joyce Hawryluk of Dauphin, MB, learned to weave from Stan Andreychuk in 1997. The technique is called Inca Loom weaving. She uses pure wool threads and creates her own designs. A sash can take anywhere from 6 to 18 hours to make, depending on the width of the sash. This type of weave is more popular in Western Ukraine. A sash is an essential part of any Ukrainian traditional outfit.
