Workshop

The target of the public workshops is for participants to learn techniques and get the experience of creating Spun Dragon with others. Hopefully the experience of weaving will change the way they use resources in their everyday lives.

The workshop serves as a stimulant to provoke imagination. The process was always experimental because we can never know others’ thoughts and creative ideas. Ideally, during the journey from experimentation to creation, people are introduced to new ideas and techniques through mutual communication. The workshop gathers people from different fields and backgrounds together. When people are in such a setting, they share a common thread of consciousness, allowing them to collaborate more easily. It’s similar to the concept of Spun Dragon: weaving yarn together strengthens the density of fabric, and then we combine the woven frames to build a dragon.

工作坊

工作坊的用意是令到參加者學習編織的基本技巧，並體驗與其他人一起以編織創作《紡織龍》。如果編織的概念和經歷能改變他們對物料運用的看法，並加以在生活中應用，那就更好了。工作坊佷具實驗性，我們不知道彼此的想法卻互相引發想像。藉著實驗和創作的過程，參加者能藉著溝通分享各自的意念和心得。工作坊把不同範疇和背景的人拉近，當他們能夠於工作坊認識，就代表著他們都有相近的想法，合作便相對容易。與工作坊的概念同出一轍，紡織龍把不同紗線拉緊，形成強韌的布，再組成整條龍。

weaving method1

1 2 3

Tie a knot on the bamboo frame and wrap the fabric around two opposite ends of it alternately, passing a full loop of it around each end each time For the weft, wrap the fabric from the other two ends in a similar way, maintaining an over then under progression across the warp Finish 完成

Tie a knot on the bamboo frame and begin to build a simple mesh structure Interweave and overlap strips to strengthen the mesh structure Finish

隨意在竹框上打結並建立簡單的網狀結構用布條隨意穿梭交疊，鞏固網狀結構完成

weaving method3

Tie knots on bamboo frame diagonally to create X-shaped patterns Begin with the middle of the cross, maintaining an over then under progression across the Xs Finish

在竹框上打結並建立米字型結構從布條交疊的中心點開始，用布條一上一下地往同一方向進行編織完成
