SUMMARY:Tablet Weaving Demonstration & Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday March 8th as The Waltham Museum reopens for 2025 on Saturdays 10pam – 2pm\n\n“Special opening demo/talk @ noon with Zach Kessin – Weaver”\n\nTablet weaving\, also called card weaving\, uses tablets or cards to create gaps through which thread can be passed. The origins go back to the Iron Age\, including use by Vikings.\n\nZach Kessin Grew up in Cambridge Massachusetts and Hillsdale NJ. On getting to Brandeis University he encountered the Society for Creative Anachronism where he learned to sew and other fiber arts. Somewhere along the way he got an Inkle loom and took up tablet weaving. It had been a long-standing interest before actually getting into it. It is possible that the interest came in part from his grandfather (Harry Zarin) who was an artist for much of his adult life.\nAt this point most of his weaving is in the form of Tablet weaving and other types of narrow weaving. Several wider looms have come and gone but the ability of tablet weaving to produce complex patterns from a simple setup appeals to a neurodivergent brain.\n\nAs an added bonus\, tablet weaving looms are generally small & portable. Over the last few years the number of looms in his house has increased to at least 4.\n\nOur free event will take place on Saturday\, March 8\, 2025 at 12pm 25 Lexington St. Waltham. Tours and refreshments available. Seats are limited\, so signup by calling 781-893-9020 or emailing info@walthammuseum.org with name\, phone# & email\, and number of participants. Parking available in the Public Parking Garage directly across from the museum.
