1. Malaysia: Weaving with Tees
Ready to get in touch with your crafty side? This two-hour Zoom session hosted by artist, painter and content creator Marini Ramlan is a step-by-step video guide to the beautiful art of weaving using T-shirts. Marini, whose mother is a master weaver, developed this simple and fun approach to weaving after researching various methods online.
Besides a pair of old T-shirts, all you need for the session is craft or fabric scissors, and a flat round object (a plastic plate or a round baking tray) as your makeshift weaving loom .
"While you're in your home, I'll be in my studio in Kuala Lumpur. It's a cosy set-up in a bungalow, so we have trees to look out to!" wrote Ramlan on Airbnb's Weaving with Tees page. "I'll even show you around if you want. If you join my Zoom class, be sure to have your audio and video on so you can ask me questions along the way!"
Dates & Time: July 11, 18 and 25 from 2pm-4.30pm
