Kilim Weaving WorkshopJoin us for a first of its kind workshop at the museum. Guided by an experienced weaver, guests will create a Kilim textile. A flat-woven textile with a flat smooth surface produced by tightly interweaving the warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) strands while also learning the history of Persian weaving and the symbolism behind its motifs.
Instructor, Jamileh Hajihasan is a skilled artisan and professional educator with deep expertise in Persian carpet and kilim weaving. Since 2016, she has taught this traditional art in both Iran and Canada. In Toronto and Montreal, she has led numerous private and group workshops in collaboration with cultural and community organizations, including the Willowdale City Office, Gibson House Museum, Tirgan Festival, SEED foundation, and Sukoon Space at STACKT market.
