Ars Shimura Art School will be offering a correspondence course in the summer of 2022, where students can create things at home and experience the joy of weaving and handiwork in their daily lives. As part of this, we have created an original Shimura loom that is compact and easy to place in a room. Made from cherry wood, which is smooth to the touch and gentle on the thread, this stylish loom can also be used as interior décor. It was created together with designers from the different fields of architecture and furniture.
This special exhibition will be the unveiling of this original loom. In addition to the loom itself, some of the works woven in the Ars Shimura correspondence course will also be on display. In addition, a weaving workshop using the original loom will be held on the weekend (advance registration required).
Would you like to come and see, touch and weave on these brand new looms? We look forward to seeing you there.
