At work we participated in Rovaniemi Craft Expo 2024. We had a workshop there. I designed and made this Sámi tablet weaving band for the workshop to show what tablet weaving is all about. It was succeed and all the visitors were lovely and interested about it.
Did you know that tablet weaving is the oldest weaving technique and origins all the way back to Egyptian times 3000 BC. In Finland it was known at least 500 AD, perhaps earlier. Rigid heddle weaving arrived 500-700 years after that which means 1000-1200 AD.
