Weaving with Kids: Playful Joy
Weaving with Kids: Playful Joy
Teaching children to weave is one of my greatest joys. In this playful workshop, kids learn the basics of weaving using simple weaving frames. Together, we explore vibrant colors, textures, and patterns, letting their imaginations lead the way.
This offering is both fun and therapeutic, encouraging focus and confidence while nurturing creativity. Each child leaves with their very own woven wall hanging, a piece of art made with their hands and hearts.
I’ve shared this workshop in places like at the ARt Museum in Førde, SFKM, and UKM in Stad municipality.
Does It Spark Joy? Learn to Weave
For: Those who love upcycling, exploring sustainability, or working with looms.
This class is a journey of transformation. You will be introduced into the ancient art of weaving, using floor and table looms, participants cut and repurpose secondhand clothes and textiles into vibrant woven creations. It’s about turning what no longer serves you into something meaningful and alive.
Here, you’ll discover the satisfaction of moving from an idea to a finished product, guided every step of the way. This practice is a mastering experience, as you will create an art piece with a function. you Decide what it will become into, a carpet, a bag, a pillow … .
The Therapeutic Power of Weaving
Every thread we weave carries intention. Through these offerings, you’ll find:
Stillness
The repetitive rhythm of weaving quiets the mind and anchors you in the moment.
Expression
Your weaving becomes a personal story, a reflection of your creativity and heart.
Completion
From concept to finished piece, you’ll discover the joy of bringing something meaningful into the world.
Each workshop I offer is an invitation to connect—to yourself, to the earth, and to the timeless practice of weaving. Together, we create not just art, but a space for healing, reflection, and joy. I am honored to share this journey with you.
With love and peace, yours truly, Karina Siegmund, the Ocean Weaver 🌊
