Guided Course: Create a woven hanging decoration with thick rope
A guided course by Julie Robert , Textile Artist
Learn how to create a woven hanging decoration from thick rope using traditional weaving techniques and handcrafted finishes.
Discover how to transform a simple thick rope into an elegant, textured woven pendant light, ready to brighten your home. Explore the essential steps of handcrafted creation, starting with selecting the necessary tools and materials. Then, be inspired by creating a technical notebook and sketching your design in acrylic. Learn to master fundamental weaving techniques, such as the flatweave and the braid technique, which will add depth and character to your piece.
Gradually, you will move on to designing the volumetric structure of your pendant light. Prepare the frame and fibers, then apply the weaving stitches to bring your creation to life. The textile finishes will complete the piece, while assembling the lamp's components will finalize your project. The result will be a pendant light rich in textures, combining artisanal craftsmanship and contemporary design, ready to transform any space into a warm and inviting haven.
