This project was a part of my course in college called 'Introduction to Weaving'. It helped me understand the basics of weaving along with drafting and making graphs. It was a great learning experience in terms of understanding techniques, material, manipulation of form and thinking out of the box. Having been able to feel and touch different textures and taking inspiration, it was interesting to create my own fabric on the loom.
