First and foremost, I want to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Heidi Näsström Evans for her continual commitment to this project and her knowledgeable guidance from its conception to completion. Julia Burke, Textile Conservator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, was instrumental to gaining not only access to the costumes for observation and photography, but her energetic devotion and expertise in the subject of textiles within the realm of fine arts served as an immeasurable inspiration.

More than 30 000 original toile de Jouy designs exist. They are of two kinds: polychrome floral designs (les Indiennes) and monochrome scenes with figures. A fair place should be restored to the floral designs. To the collective memory, “toile de Jouy” evokes the monochrome scenes with figures. These toiles were mainly used for furnishing and decor ation, and therefore preserved in attics. Forgotten for many years, then rediscovered, they reappeared in their original colours, as if they had just been printed. The polychrome designs, mostly of floral inspiration, were, on the contrary, used predominantly for clothing (as well as fur nishing).

  • Identifying Woven Textiles 1750-1950 Identification
    Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 DATS in partnership with the V&A 1 Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 This information pack has been produced to accompany two one-day workshops taught by Katy Wigley (Director, School of Textiles) and Mary Schoeser (Hon. V&A Senior Research Fellow), held at the V&A Clothworkers’ Centre on 19 April and 17 May 2018. The workshops are produced in collaboration between DATS and the V&A. The purpose of the workshops is to enable participants to improve the documentation and interpretation of collections and make them accessible to the widest audience. Participants will have the chance to study objects at first hand to help increase their confidence in identifying woven textile materials and techniques. This information pack is intended as a means of sharing the knowledge communicated in the workshops with colleagues and the wider public and is also intended as a stand-alone guide for basic weave identification.

  • Exploring the Relevance of Manual Pattern Cutting Skills in a Technological Environment
    EXPLORING THE RELEVANCE OF MANUAL PATTERN CUTTING SKILLS IN A TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT BY CATHERINE PRITCHARD A thesis submitted to the University of Bedfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA by research January 2013 EXPLORING THE RELEVANCE OF MANUAL PATTERN CUTTING SKILLS IN A TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT CATHERINE PRITCHARD ABSTRACT Are students losing the ability to visualise and instead ‘allowing the computer to do it’? Today there is a requirement for pattern cutters entering the garment industry to use the computerised pattern design system that makes the transporting of patterns to overseas factories quick. Whilst a computer screen can display visual images representing digitised data, this is possibly at the cost of the professional or trainee losing the skill to visualise, an absolute necessity when required to construct a three dimensional design that is illustrated in two dimensions. The aim of this thesis is to look at the relationship between creative manual practice and computerised technology when creating a garment pattern. Through practical studies and background knowledge the advantages and disadvantages of traditional and modern methods are investigated together with what is gained or lost when substituting tactile processes with the computer screen. By personal application it was experienced and documented how to use computer digitisation to create garment patterns. The findings from practical studies to explore the skill of interpretation led to further questions and went on to reveal how important training is as well as the capabilities of an individual. From this outcome the need for change in fashion design courses is suggested with regard to greater training time.

    COLLOQUE SCIENTIFIQUE ET HISTORIQUE OBERKAMPF ET LA TOILE IMPRIMÉE XVIIIE–XIXE SIÈCLES PRODUCTION, CRÉATION, CONSOMMATION L'objectif de cet ouvrage n'est pas de proposer aux lecteurs un « énième » ouvrage sur la toile de Jouy1, sur cette manufacture2, ni même sur son célèbre fondateur3, mais de multiplier les points de vue concernant l'industrie textile de l'impression. Les nombreuses contributions permettent d'envisager l'industrie des toiles imprimées à l'échelle européenne, dans des processus d'échanges et de circulations, depuis la première globalisation à l'époque moderne jusqu'à la révolution industrielle en Europe au XIXe siècle. Oberkampf n'est pas le sujet de ce livre, mais sa personnalité est présente en filigrane dans les contributions rassemblées qui touchent aux questions industrielles et techniques, commerciales et artistiques, jusqu'au phénomène de patrimonialisation des toiles avec la constitution des collections textiles depuis la fin du XIXe siècle ou comment la toile de Jouy est entrée au musée. En faisant le point sur l'histoire de la toile imprimée, cet ouvrage contribue à prolonger les commémorations autour de la figure d'Oberkampf qui ont jalonné l'année 2015 à l'occasion du bicentenaire de sa mort. 1.
