Loom & band gate for squeamish hands

Course for children and adult security personnel
8-9 July 2025

Part of Capellagården's summer course program is aimed at children who want to take a creative course together with an adult security person. A security person can be a parent, mother/grandparent or other important adult in the child's life. The course emphasizes playfulness, curiosity and creative joy and is aimed at both children and adults. The child's process is in focus and the adult participates in the course on the child's terms.

Loom and band gate for squeamish hands is an introduction to the various techniques of weaving. During the course we will go through and test different weaving techniques and create useful objects on smaller tools. We weave ribbons on ribbon gates and scarves on children's looms. Two creative days, together in the craft.

The course runs over two days from 9 am to 3 pm with joint breaks for coffee and lunch.

Recommended age of the child is 8 to 16 years.
No prior knowledge is required.
