Loop of the Loom is the mindfulness zen weaving dojo in NYC which introduces SAORI, a ZEN art of weaving from Japan. We are NYC's first-ever certified SAORI studio, gallery and authorized SAORI loom distributor.
Students at Loop of the Loom have created distinct and original tapestries, clothing, scarves, bags and many useful items. Other fiber arts classes include spinning, felting, sewing and dyeing for all ages.
Yukako Satone, founder of Loop of the Loom:
In 2001 I decided to become a SAORI instructor. It was something that happened to me. My life changed in a few hours after I knew SAORI.
My great friend signed me up for the SAORI summer intensive class at the headquarter during my vacation in Japan. She had been teaching SAORI weaving as an artist in residence in Osaka, Japan. I felt so lucky to learn a new thing since I'd been searching for something besides parenting.
I stepped into the SAORI gallery before the class started. Hanging tapestries greeted me. They were jumbled-up and many colored. I couldn't believe that I was in a room in an office building in Japan. I took a seat for a SAORI lecture. The speaker was 88 years old and a small woman. She worn a black T-shirt and pants. But she was wrapped in a beautiful woven vest. The red based colored vest was chic and modern. Speaking about SAORI philosophy and experience, she walked and move her hands. She looked bigger. I received a powerful impression from this woman, Misao Jo. She is the founder of SAORI. She said, "I need one thousand of Misao Jo." I caught her message in my mind and brought it back to the US. Of course, with a loom!
For ten years I have been spreading SAORI seeds from place to place in NY and NJ. With a portable loom I have been working out of my house on a SAORI public art activity, giving hands on demonstrations of SAORI weaving.
People want to create something, they want to use colors, to touch with their hands. I decided to open a weaving studio, Loop of the Loom where everyone can express own style in weaving. We use many recyclable materials with "Mottainai" idea from Japan which means non-waste. Each piece of weaving is so beautiful. No two works are alike. I hand to my students SAORI's seeds and they bloom into beautiful flowers on the looms. SAORI's seeds begin to sprout. My studio nourishes roots linking new SAORI weavers.
