1978, disturbed by childhood weaving - a few threads are wrapped over a piece of cardboard and another thread is laboriously woven through it - I urgently want to find out how weaving can be done better.

​

1986-88 I learn how to do it traditionally, but realize that it doesn't go well at all. Over the next few decades I'll plow through the weaving, question, start over and discover new things.

 

Finally, I develop my own loom and my special weaving method: Flying8.

A Flying8 loom and associated equipment can be built anywhere there are battens, a saw, hammer and nails. DIY and low budget.

​

The Flying8 weaving method enables a weaver to complete the entire weaving process on his own, quickly, easily and with good posture.

​

Not only do I use this myself, I have taught it several times in over 15 countries from Peru to East India and from Finland to Botswana.
