Shiva Making Persian Rug

[babylover0990]

that is awesome and absolutely amazing!! I wish I could make that kind of rug!!

[TheSecretHarp]

I would love to learn how to weave like this. Do you know weather it is possible to find a teacher in North America? Do you plan to, in the future make video tutorials on how to do this art?

@TheSecretHarp - I'm not sure if there's any classes for this in North Amreica, but I'm planning to start classes for 2012 in Toronto area in Canada if that helps. About tutorials, I don't think video tutorials will help at beginner level, but I'll take some during 2012 classes and post them. Hope that helps.

That is amazing. I am always impressed with items made by hand especially things this big. That is so beautiful. That must be a very special rug when you are done. Thanks for showing us this. I have a greater appreciation for rug making now.

when you swtich colors how do you change them? I find this amazing but very confusing

[shivagallery]

@canaan1967

easy! I just grab a threat of another colour and then change it when the colour changes. It is most confusing when there are several shades and tones of the same hue though.

[aaronnejad]

what type of rug is this?

[zenonforever]

It is a Persian Rug but I am not going to put it on the floor and walk over it ... I will probably just frame and hang it on a wall.

[SpeckledRam]

Absolutely wonderful!

[zenonforever]

Thanks :)

I was searching to see if there is any place in the U.S. (California) where they teach how to make a Persian rug and I came across your video. This is a beautiful piece that you are working on. Where did you learn it in Iran? I also took the class many many years ago with Ostad Arabzadeh's daughter. I would like to know more about you and your shows. Many thanks for posting the video here.

The wool is wrapped around the treads and then tied before gets cut.

I leaarned the technique in Iran several years ago. The knots are very strong which make the rugs last forever!

[shangoramoda]

how do you actually tie the knots? I am so interested in how this is done, would like to learn how to do it.

[sandraaless]

this is a beatiful piece of art.

i know you will do very well at the heritage show. see you there :)

[aroshaa]
