During quarantine, people are isolated from each other and are unable to gather in the community. However, at the same time, people have a lot of free time.

As a weaver, I have been offering those wishing to join the craft without having the professional equipment and knowledge online tutorials. A video on how to weave was recorded and shared via Facebook for those wishing to start.

The videos show a simple weaving technique, and how you can adapt the tools at hand:
