It is summertime here in Denmark, but some people are busy weaving on small looms... So exciting to see the result!😀 I cant reveal them completely right now, but come to the exhibition at Copenhagen Contemporary 21-30 August, and enjoy all of them! These beautiful samples are made by: @bertheforchhammer @bro_stroem @ginahedegaardnielsen Can you guess which samples are made by which artist?😉 . . @weavinglab @hello_looms @copenhagen_contemporary @statenskunstfond . . #weavinglab #danishdesignnow #denmarkinarts #weaving #handcraft #weave #handweaving #weaversofinstagram #weaversofdenmark #craft #væv #väv #yarn #patterns #colors #handwoven #handweaver #handmade #loomweaving #contemporarytextiles

These small looms has been sent out to a group of professional weavers around in Denmark, invited by Marianne Fairbanks. Now the weavers will begin the work of producing samples. These small scale works of art will be exhibited at CC during Marianne Fairbanks workshop with WeavingLab in august. One of the weavers making a sample is Astrid Skibsted and today I received this photo from her😀 so beautiful and inspiring! Looking forward to see the others! ❤ . . @weavinglab @mariannefairbanks @astridskibsted @copenhagen_contemporary @statenskunstfond @hello_looms . . #helloloom #weavinglab #handwoven #handcraft #weaving #danishdesignnow #denmarkinarts #textile #textileartist #weaving #studio #wovenart #slowfashion #slowart #wallart #weavingstudio #creativespace #textiledesign #pattern #design #craft #fiberart #contemporaryart #fiberartist #art #lovecolour #loom #slowfashion

I want to tell you about my friend Marianne Fairbanks. We started to chat two years ago right here on instagram, when I ordered some small looms from her, which she designed. Last summer Marianne visited me in Copenhagen and our common interest in the weaving meant we quickly became engrossed in inspiring conversations. We also talked about future projects and opportunities for working together. On my last summer vacation I took Marianne's small ‘PocketLooms' with me to Gotland to use them as a weave sketching tool. A wonderful way to work with weaving on-the-go and to capture inspiration from travels. In August 21-30, Marianne Fairbanks is visiting Copenhagen to hold a workshop with WeavingLab at Copenhagen Contemporary, and you are welcome to come by and weave! I am also a member of the research group and am fortunate enough to have been granted funding by the Danish Arts Foundation to participate in the project. Thank you very much! @statenskunstfond #danishdesignnow #denmarkinarts @nationalbankensjubilæumsfond I will keep you updated on the project here on my account, but you are also most welcome to follow the @weavinglab @mariannefairbanks @copenhagen_contemporary #weavinglab #weave #handweaving #weaversofinstagram #weaversofdenmark #craft #handcraft #væv #väv #yarn #patterns #colors #handwoven #handweaver #handmade #loomweaving #contemporarytextiles
