  • Selected "Rovana" (Saran), "Verel" (Modacrylic)
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Clothing, Textiles Susan Houston Fortune for the . M. S. in and Related Arts (Name) (Degree) (Major) Date thesis is presented 1174,y, //, j76_1-- Title SELECTED "ROVANA" (SARAN), "VEREL" (MODACRYLIC), AND RAYON BLEND DRAPERY FABRICS EVALUATED BY LABORATORY TESTS FOR RESISTANCE TO LIGHT, LAUN- DERING, ABRASION, STRESS AND FIRE Abstract approved (Major professor Thirteen fabrics containing "Rovana" (saran), "Verel" (mod - acrylic), and rayon were examined for colorfastness to light and laun- dering, shrinkage, tensile strength, elongation, abrasion -resistance and flammability. The fabrics represented three weaves: plain, twill and leno; and three colors: white, eggshell and turquoise. The fiber contents, according to the manufacturers, varied from 20 per- cent "Rovana ", 56 percent "Verel" and 24 percent rayon to 49. 3 "Rovana ", 30. 5 percent "Verel" and 20. 2 percent rayon. Chemical analysis revealed that all of the fabrics varied from the manufacturers' stated fiber contents. A Fade -Ometer was used to test for colorfastness to light. Although no fading was visible to the eye, the plain weave fabrics of high "Rovana" content showed the greatest color change according to a Gardner Color Difference Meter. White fabrics and broken twill weave fabrics were modified also. Washing had little effect on the colors. Shrinkage was most pronounced in the filling direction and was due chiefly to laundering. Fabrics fabricated in a broken twill weave of approximately 30 percent "Rovana" exhibited slightly more shrink- age than the four percent allowance recommended by the American Hotel Association. The remaining fabrics shrank only approximately one percent. Fabrics appeared to be most affected by 63.

California and the Fiber Art Revolution Suzanne Baizerman Imogene Gieling Curator of Crafts and Decorative Arts Oakland Museum of California Oakland, CA 510-238-3005 [email protected] In the 1960s and ‘70s, California artists participated in and influenced an international revolution in fiber art. The California Design (CD) exhibitions, a series held at the Pasadena Art Museum from 1955 to 1971 (and at another venue in 1976) captured the form and spirit of the transition from handwoven, designer textiles to two dimensional fiber art and sculpture.1 Initially, the California Design exhibits brought together manufactured and one-of-a kind hand-crafted objects, akin to the Good Design exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
