Artist Hannah Buechler Uses Loom Bands to Create Textured Art

Artist Hannah Buechler transforms colorful loom bands into art pieces that resemble expressionist paintings, utilizing a unique technique that combines the rubber material with wool roving and felt.

Buechler's work draws inspiration from her interest in fabrics and the mark-making techniques of Impressionist painters. She aims to explore the boundaries of textiles by incorporating found and recycled materials, investigating the interplay between natural and synthetic media.

Her process involves looping thousands of loom bands onto a felt template, which also acts as the substrate. Small tufts of colorful wool roving are used to create shapes, with the bands curved and fitted together like a puzzle.

The resulting artworks maintain a textile-like pliability but, when framed and displayed, take on the appearance of paintings with vibrant relief and texture.

Examples of her work include "Frozen Realm" (2025), "The Space Between" (2024), "Fountains" (2025), "Black Sheep" (2025), and "Don’t Push" (2025), all created using loom bands, wool, and felt.
