Hello! If you’re coming to this post for the first time, it depicts a public weaving project that happened in July 2011 at Museum of Contemporary Craft here in Portland. It was a monthlong feature in conjunction with a (really lovely) Laurie Herrick weaving exhibition.
SCRAP donated a whole bunch of nifty stuff to weave with – yarns and zippers and strips of craft foam and ribbons and so on. These simple cardboard looms work great.
If the idea of non-traditional weaving turns you on, you might also like this ebook I wrote – it’s loaded with weaving projects you can do with stuff lying around your house.
There is so much right with this idea that it’s impossible to tell you how right it is. But you can FEEL it, yes?
not being local I would love to know where to find instructions for the cardboard loom as shown.
HI, Deepee – I found this:

And I did a simpler version a while back: http://www.craftstylish.com/item/2546/how-to-weave-on-a-cardboard-loom
If you Google “cardboard box loom,” there are lots more results, so you might find even more options there.
A fabulous project and a sensational event – wish I lived closer! Best wishes to all of the organizers; I’m sure the participants will have a blast and learn quite a bit. Is there any chance that you would be able to post a photo of the composite piece once all of the individual efforts are stitched together? I sure that all of us who live outside the Portland are would enjoy seeing the final work of art. Many thanks!
I’ll definitely get some images to share!
