Do you know what a loom is?

The loom is linked with the ancient technique of weaving which still survives today.

In the framework of the “ReThinking Craftsmanship” exhibition at the Museum of Cycladic Art, visitors can use the loom & create their own fabrics!

We definitely had fun with these drawings: disk brooches with cloisonné [6/7th cent. CE]😍
