The Creative Cloister

Exploring the artistic roots of our Catholic Faith While ‘Sheltering in place’

Palm Weaving

In 2020, during the pandemic, I was asked to make instructional videos so people could learn new palm weaving crafts while they were stuck at home. Now you can stop by the cafe on Palm Sunday and have a go at it with the whole church family in person. So much more fun.

Here is a link to my fat Palm Weaving Pinterest Board where you can find videos of palm weavers from India with lots of swagger and disco-techno pop music to accompany your meditative creativity (hence the vids linked above).

​

Here are links to a few instruction pdfs in case you prefer printed instructions:
