Weaving with Anni Albers
Description
Anni Albers experimented with weaving complex geometric patterns, developed Modernist weaving theory, and wrote the book “On Weaving,” which helped establish design as a field of study. She was the first design artist to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. CREATE: Start weaving with materials at home. Make a loom by cutting small slots in a piece of cardboard. Wrap it with string to set up. Thread yarn through the strings by going over one and under the next. Weave in any hanging yarn with a few stitches. Cut the strings and tie two together to finish. Explore “Under Way” (1963) in our collection and additional instructions with #HirshhornKids on our website: https://hirshhorn.si.edu/explore/weave-it-together/ Share your creation with #HirshhornInsideOut! https://www.instagram.com/hirshhorn https://www.facebook.com/hirshhorn https://twitter.com/hirshhorn https://hirshhorn.si.edu/hirshhorninsideout/
