ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Thank you to the wonderful team at Klotho Crete who allowed me to come into their studio and taught me traditional Cretan loom weaving.
Healing is in the Hands
The art of weaving recognises the healing aspect of the craft - bringing together the threads becomes a way to reconnect seemingly broken connections, a tapestry of meaning and healing
….
Η ύφανση είναι ένας τρόπος να προσεύχεσαι, όχι στον Θεό αλλά στον εαυτό σου
Weaving is a way to pray, not to God but to yourself
