Traditional crafts making is a performance-oriented design action from which the knowledge of making can be expanded from hand made to digital disciplines providing a new perspective for computational thinking.Many researchers have studied traditional crafting techniques to describe its form-finding process or to emphasize the socio-cultural aspects but with very little attention to the performative aspects of traditional crafting techniques. In this paper, I described the Weaving shape and its spatial relationships based on its performative features under the making grammar definition. I applied Terry Knight’s three separate Kolam pattern generating methods to create shapes that are visually correlated despite having differences in parameters and purposes. This research provides a generative process to create a weaving pattern and analyzes the temporal aspects of the shape under the making grammar definition.
