See how tapestry weaving works in this short video. Nadia Yaron demonstrates three types of tapestry joins in her Brooklyn storefront studio, Nightwood. What differentiates tapestry weaving from plain weaving is that in a tapestry, the weaver changes weft threads at will as she weaves them across the piece. By doing this, she can create patterns and images on the surface of the weaving. This tapestry took about 12 hours total to weave. About this series: Design Dictionary is a new Cooper Hewitt
