For over half a year in 2017, CHAT organised Weaving Wednesday to connect to different communities. To share the joy and magic of weaving, we hosted a special edition on a Saturday. There were 6 kinds of looming demonstrations and exercises using upcycled materials:
Backstrap Loom – the oldest form of loom in the world;
Portable Weaving Grid – A hands-on weaving kit enabled crisscrossing threads and fabric on recycled wooden frame;
Weaving Square – an action-filled square-shaped floating installation for 4 participants to weave simultaneously;
Cardboard-Can-Loom – An eco-friendly, cost-effective recycled cardboard loom stretched the limit of weaving;
Pang Jai Knitting Machine – Master Wong demonstrated the efficient way of mechanical weaving;
Great Weaving Wall – Created a colourful artwork across poles and fences at Fuk Loi Estate.
