  • Cloth Without Weaving: Beaten Barkcloth of the Pacific Islands, November 1, 2000-February 18, 2001
    Cloth Without Weaving: Beaten Barkcloth of the Pacific Islands, November 1, 2000-February 18, 2001 Unlike most textiles, which are made of interworked yarns, beaten barkcloth is made of strips of the inner bark of trees such as the paper mulberry, breadfruit, or fig, pounded together into a smooth and supple fabric. It is an ancient craft, practiced in southern China and mainland Southeast Asia over 5,000 years ago. From there, the skill spread to eastern Indonesia and the Pacific Islands. While the technique is also known in South America and Africa, it is most closely associated with the islands of Polynesia. In Polynesia, the making of beaten barkcloth, or tapa, as it is commonly known, is primarily women's work. The technique is essentially the same throughout the Pacific Islands, with many local variations. Bark is stripped from the tree, and the inner bark separated from the outer. The inner bark is then pounded with wooden beaters to spread the fibers into a thin sheet. Large pieces of tapa can be made by overlapping and pounding together several smaller sheets. Women decorate the cloth in many ways, and techniques are often combined. Mallets carved or inlaid with metal or shell designs may impart a subtle texture to the surface. Color may be applied with stamps, stencils, freehand painting, or by rubbing dye into the tapa over a patterned board. Glazes may be brushed onto the finished cloth. Each tapa-producing culture has its own vocabulary of recognized decorative motifs. Many pattern names are drawn from the natural world, and the motifs appear as highly stylized images of local flora and fauna or simple geometric shapes.

  • The “African Print” Hoax: Machine Produced Textiles Jeopardize African Print Authenticity
    The “African Print” Hoax: Machine Produced Textiles Jeopardize African Print Authenticity by Tunde M. Akinwumi Department of Home Science University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria Abstract The paper investigated the nature of machine-produced fabric commercially termed African prints by focusing on a select sample of these prints. It established that the general design characteristics of this print are an amalgam of mainly Javanese, Indian, Chinese, Arab and European artistic tradition. In view of this, it proposed that the prints should reflect certain aspects of Africanness (Africanity) in their design characteristics. It also explores the desirability and choice of certain design characteristics discovered in a wide range of African textile traditions from Africa south of the Sahara and their application with possible design concepts which could be generated from Macquet’s (1992) analysis of Africanity. This thus provides a model and suggestion for new African prints which might be found acceptable for use in Africa and use as a veritable export product from Africa in the future. In the commercial parlance, African print is a general term employed by the European textile firms in Africa to identify fabrics which are machine-printed using wax resins and dyes in order to achieve batik effect on both sides of the cloth, and a term for those imitating or achieving a resemblance of the wax type effects. They bear names such as abada, Ankara, Real English Wax, Veritable Java Print, Guaranteed Dutch Java Hollandis, Uniwax, ukpo and chitenge. Using the term ‘African Print’ for all the brand names mentioned above is only acceptable to its producers and marketers, but to a critical mind, the term is a misnomer and therefore suspicious because its origin and most of its design characteristics are not African.

  • Mounting Barkcloth with Rare Earth Magnets
    Mounting barkcloth with rare earth magnets: the compression and fiber resiliency answer Gwen Spicer Abstract The use of magnets to mount barkcloth is common, yet details of the specific techniques used had not been adequately documented. An investigation of magnetic systems globally found that while all current systems use 'point fasteners' on the surface of the cloth, this is where the similarities end. The unresolved question for mounting barkcloth is the potential for compression. Compression is a significant issue for art works on paper, especially when magnets are located on the face. How are backcloth and paper different? While researching various materials frequently placed together and used within a magnetic mounting system, otherwise known as ‘the gap’, some interesting ancillary results were found. Materials are typically selected for their archival value, which includes their long-term stability. Over time, a set of preferred materials became well established; these encompass both natural and synthetic materials, woven and non-woven alike. The phrase ‘like with like’ is often used when materials are selected. This long-held philosophy should be re-examined. Compression relates to an object’s ability to regain shape once a force is applied, one aspect of its resiliency. It appears that barkcloth is less likely to experience compression than does paper, although both media are cellulosic. Cellulose is rated as a low-resilience fiber, when compared to proteins and polyester. These materials most likely have different compression potentials due to the different ways in which paper and barkcloth are prepared. This and other surface phenomena will be discussed. The investigation will briefly summarise why the 'point-fasteners' system appear to be favoured over ‘large area pressure.’ Introduction The conservation and mounting of barkcloth has long been a challenge.

  • WOOL TEXTILE TERMS Handout for the WRSW Wool Panel Discussion
    WOOL TEXTILE TERMS Handout for the WRSW Wool Panel Discussion Over the years, the wool industry has attempted to standardize wool textile terminology. The following is list of such terms listed in “Twills, Tweeds and All-Wool Fabrics” by Harriet C. Douglas. Public Domain on arizona.edu. Broken Twill – are twills in which one or more shafts are omitted in the threading, but the weaving is regular. Dornik is an example. Cheviot Tweeds – originally from the Cheviot Hills of Scotland. Made from the rough, coarse wool of the Cheviot wool in plain weave or in 2/2 twill, with warp and weft of the same color. Often pieced dyed rather than skein dyed. Combined Twills – are Fancy twills woven in small patterns with broken diagonals and irregular warp and weft skips. Corkscrew Twills – are warp and weft rib twills produced on an uneven number of shafts, by weaving semi-opposites. One of the few twills which is not a balanced weave. Curved Twills – are Fancy twills in which the twill lines have a waved or curved nature. District Checks – is the general name applied to the Scotch Tweed checks developed during the rein of Queen Victoria for hunting and sport wear. They are characterized by a certain boldness of small figures, but “protective coloration”. They include such checks as the Glenns, The Glen Urquharts and the Shepherd check, woven on two, three or four colors. Donegal Tweed – has two types. One is a herringbone weave on a white warp with a dark weft; the other, a plain weave fabric woven with a weft which has colored nubs.
