Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. ; 155688 PREFACE This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there- fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.

  • Crosscurrents: Canada in the Making
    Crosscurrents: Canada in the Making Textile Museum of Canada June 27, 2018-March 31, 2019 Resource and Activity Guide Crosscurrents: Canada in the Making This land has long been the meeting place of many cultures. As powerful symbols of identity and place, textiles hold strong spiritual and material connections to the land and people around the world. Textiles and their stories move with people and reveal the ways in which cultural traditions change as diverse communities come in contact with new environments. Crosscurrents explores the diversity of textile traditions that enliven this country, an outcome of ongoing encounters between First Peoples, settler Canadians, and newcomers. It reveals a story of convergence—on the one hand a collision of cultures brought on by devastating historical events, and on the other, a mutual exchange of materials, techniques, styles and ideas. Through collaborations and confrontations, memories, dreams and traditions converge to reveal a dynamic and multi-layered textile landscape across time. Hooked rugs, blankets, quilts, beadwork, basketry, textile-making tools and other iconic objects illustrate broad cultural crosscurrents and values that continue to inspire new generations of textile practitioners, highlighting stories of continuity, movement and transformation. Crosscurrents draws from the TMC’s rich Canadian collection of historic artifacts and loans from public and private collections, and features the artwork of Vanessa Dion Fletcher, Brenda Lee, Meghann O’Brien, Amanda Rataj, and Ovilu Tunnillie. Throughout the exhibition, commentary and responses by community members contextualize these objects within contemporary dialogue and experience.
