Yukiko Yokoyama, a world master of Yoroke weaving artists, will be holding a workshop in Brooklyn, New York!

Yoroke weaving (also known as Ondulé weaving) uses a special fan reed that creates a beautiful, flowing warp line as you weave, allowing dynamic patterns to emerge. Yokoyama’s technique is filled with secrets for holding its shape, enabling the weaving of long cloth that fully highlights the curved patterns.

Yokoyama will generously teach you the techniques she has developed over 40 years of experience. This is the first class outside Japan— don’t miss this rare opportunity!

We recommend also attending our workshop on Kasuri dyeing, which will add to your skills and help you create even more beautiful Yoroke weaving.

MEET THE ARTIST

Yukiko Yokoyama

Yukiko Yokoyama is one of Japan's leading contemporary hand weaving artists.

With a weaving experience spanning 50 years, Yokoyama founded her textile studio Dream Weaver (夢織りびと) in Japan in 1977 and has since opened classes in three cities, nurturing numerous students. As she explored through teaching, Yokoyama has been particularly captivated by the allure of yoroke-ori, and has developed her unique techniques one after another combining them with dyeing techniques. "Yoroke" is the weaving that is characterized by wave-like patterns created by altering the spacing of warp threads using specialized fan-shaped reeds, and Yokoyama is one of the few Yoroke weavers in the world.
