City Guide

Description: Loop of the Loom is home to New York City's first-ever certified SAORI studio, gallery and authorized SAORI loom distributor. As one of only three SAORI weaving studios in the United States, Loop of the Loom has the pleasure of introducing this unique and easy-to-learn form of, what we like to call, "happy weaving" to the Tri-State Area. Our new studio in Manhattan's Upper Eastside offers classes and workshops, on-site and off-site, to individuals and groups interested in self-discovery, healing and having fun through weaving. With SAORI's growing popularity, Loop of the Loom has been invited to collaborate with local schools, hospitals, community events and museums. Students at Loop of the Loom have created distinct and original tapestries, clothing, scarves, bags and many useful items that can be appreciated by all. Other classes at Loop of the Loom include sewing, spinning and contemporary crafts such as wet felting! The Loop of the Loom gallery showcases new works created by those in the SAORI community.
