  • Press Release a Continuous Thread: Navajo Weaving Traditions Bruce Museum, Greenwich, Connecticut August 18 – November 25, 2018
    Press Release A Continuous Thread: Navajo Weaving Traditions Bruce Museum, Greenwich, Connecticut August 18 – November 25, 2018 Third Phase Navajo Chief’s Blanket. Bruce Museum Collection 68.25.05. GREENWICH, CT, July 11, 2018 – On August 18, 2018, the Bruce Museum will open A Continuous Thread: Navajo Weaving Traditions. This exhibition will trace the history of the Navajo weaving tradition from the earliest Mexican-inspired Saltillo serapes, c. 1880, to mid-20th century pictorial rugs. Featuring a dozen items from the Museum’s Native American ethnographic collection – some of which have never been publicly exhibited – the exhibition will be on display in the Bantle Lecture Gallery through November 25, 2018. Navajo rugs are unique because their warp (the vertical strings on a loom) is one, long continuous piece of wool thread. Once the warp is set on the loom, the size of the rug cannot be altered. This weaving method requires the weaver to plan the design and pattern of the rug to fit precisely into the predetermined length of the rug. The ability to conceive and execute two-dimensional designs in extraordinary patterns and colors set Navajo weavers apart from the creators of other Native rugs and blankets. Knowledge of this traditional process is an important cultural tradition that has been maintained through intergenerational instruction and mentoring despite the obstacles of displacement, discrimination and isolation experienced by the Navajo Nation. Page 1 of 2 Press Release “The Najavo textile collection at the Bruce is extensive enough to illustrate the history of the weaving traditions and varied enough to demonstrate the artisanal skill of the weavers,” says Kirsten Reinhardt, Museum Registar and the organizer of this exhibition.

  • How to Make Métis Hooked Rugs
    How to Make Métis Hooked Rugs There are six steps in making a hooked rug. These are: 1) Preparing Materials 2) Building a Frame 3) Preparing a Work Surface 4) Cutting and Tracing the Pattern 5) Hooking the Rug 6) Putting on the Backing and Finishing Touches 1) Preparing Materials • Use two-by-two inch pieces of wood for the frame • Make the frame slightly bigger than the rug • Use nails to attach the frame • Use burlap or jute for the frame’s backing • Use corduroy or denim to reinforce the frame’s border • Use quilting or upholstery thread to stitch the border • Use sealed wax to bind the border to the burlap/jute backing • Use wool or string to lace the burlap border to the frame • Use various big-eyed needles and a thimble for the lacing process • Use paper to make the pattern • Use paper scissors to cut out the pattern • Use small or large straight pins to pin down the pattern • Use sharp scissors to cut all fabric • Use a rug-hooking tool to begin the rug-hooking process • Rug-hooking tools can be found at craft or carpet stores, or can be made from a cork and a nail • Use various colours of cotton t-shirts for materials • Cut the seams out of the t-shirts, and then cut the material into thumb width strips • The strips can be rolled into balls for easy storage 2) Building a Frame • Make an adjustable frame by drilling holes in the wood • Use a nut and a bolt to adjust the frame’s size • If the frame is to be used only once, nail it together 3) Preparing a Work Surface • Choose either burlap or jute (which is finer grained) • Then

  • We Are the Rug Hooking Capital of the World”: Understanding Chéticamp Rugs (1927-2017)
    “We are the Rug Hooking Capital of the World”: Understanding Chéticamp Rugs (1927-2017) by © Laura Marie Andrea Sanchini A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University December 3rd, 2018 St John’s Newfoundland Abstract This thesis is the story of how utilitarian material culture was transformed into a cottage industry, and eventually into high art. Chéticamp rug hooking is an artistic practice, one wrapped up in issues of taste, creativity, class and economics. Rug hooking in Chéticamp rose to prominence in the first half of the 20th century when Lillian Burke, a visiting American artist, set up a rug hooking cottage industry in the area. She altered the tradition to suit the tastes of wealthy patrons, who began buying the rugs to outfit their homes. This thesis examines design in rug hooking focusing on Chéticamp-style rugs. Captured within design aesthetics is what the rugs mean to both those who make and consume them. For tourists, the rugs are symbols of a perceived anti-modernism. Through the purchase of a hooked rug, they are able to bring home material reminders of their moment of experience with rural Nova Scotia. For rug hookers, rugs are a symbol of economic need, but also agency and the ability to overcome depressed rural economic conditions. Rug hooking was a way to have a reliable income in an area where much of the labour is dependent on unstable sources, such as natural resources (fishing, lumber, agriculture etc.).

  • Oriental Rugs from Persia, Afghanistan, Turkey
    Modified By The Rug Guru Oriental Rugs From Persia, Afghanistan, Turkey ... Turkmen Rugs Geography West Turkestan is an area of some 700,000 square kilometres with the Caspian Sea to the west, the Mangyshlak Peninsula to the northeast and the Kapet-Dagh Mountains and the outskirts of the Hindukush forming a semicircle to the south. West of what since 1924 has been the border of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Turkmenistan are Afghanistan and the Iranian province of Khorassan. At the eastern side is the huge Chinese province of Xinjiang (Sinkiang). Usually referred to in the context of weaving literature as East Turkestan. Thus viewed in simple geographic terms, it is easier to understand the nature of this Eurasian basin, part of the ancient world's dry belt. To the western side of the region is the Karakum desert and to the east, between the Amu- Darya and Syr-Darya rivers, is the Kyzylkum desert. To the south, that there was earlier the Soviet Socialist Republic of Uzbekistan, now this independent state, are the important trading centres of Bukhara and Samarkand. The latter having been a major post along the ancient Silk Road, which ran from China through East Turkestan and on westwards, via Tashkent in Uzbekistan, Mary (Merv) in Turkmenistan and Khorasan. Many different ethnic groups have occupied this region for millennia and among those associated with weaving, in addition to the Turkmen's themselves, are the Uzbeks, Karakalpaks and Kirgiz. Historical Research Serious research into the weaving culture of the Turkmen's must, of course, encompass more than aesthetic appreciation.

The construction of the mosque uses other traditional structural elements as well such as “panj kasehi” (five concaves). These days, the mosque is more of a tourist attraction than a place for prayer.
