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.

  • 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.

    TEXTILE ARTS COUNCIL FINE ARTS MUSEUMS OF SAN FRANCISCO OBIKO ART WEAR ARCHIVE PROJECT Feather collar by K.Lee Manuel “Electra” 1988. Photo: David Reese The Obiko ArtWear Archive documents and celebrates the work of Bay Area clothing and jewelry designers whose work was showcased at Sandra Sakata’s renowned boutique, Obiko. In the 1970s- through the 1990s, one-of-a-kind Art Wear blossomed in a culture that embraced global design. The influence of Asian and African ethnic costume and textile techniques is particularly evident in the aesthetic of this remarkable era. The archive includes a collection of designers’ work, four fashion shows, oral histories, photos and memories. The Textile Art Council hopes that the archive will be a great discovery and resource for future generations. © 2014 Textile Arts Council Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, all rights reserved | Design: Nancy Rosenblum, Frisco Graphics OBIKO ART WEAR ARCHIVE PROJECT TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

One-of-a-kind wearables emerged on both the east and west coasts, drawing on an anti-fashion street style approach. Two seminal galleries, Julie:Artisans in New York City and Obiko in San Francisco, provided a showcase for this work. I began my career on the east coast in the late 60s during an extraordinary time consumed by nationwide political protests and self expression.
