Craft at Risk

Join craftsperson and scholar Christian Dauble for a three-hour workshop all about weaving!

Learn about the history of weaving in Newfoundland and Labrador and around the world. Walk through the basic techniques of weaving and get hands-on experience trying out various types of looms and techniques. Leave with a new perspective on the fabric that surrounds us every day and the importance of textile crafts in our community. Weaving, the craft or action of forming fabric by interlacing threads, was moved from Endangered in 2021 to Currently Viable on the 2024 Craft at Risk List.

Christian Dauble, an avid knitter, became enamoured with weaving in 2019 and decided to pursue it further. They built a small loom from a canvas frame where they began to practice basic tapestry weaving. Christian was a weaving Apprentice with Heritage NL’s Mentor-Apprentice Program.
