  • Thread of Life Japanese Textiles
    Thread of Life Japanese Textiles Saturday 26 June - Sunday 3 October 2021 Thread of Life Japanese Textiles The Japanese word boroboro (abbreviated to boro) can be translated to rags, but there is a deeper meaning and history hidden within the threads and stitches of these patched textiles. Characterised by meticulous stitching, hues of indigo, and many-layered patchwork, boro originated as a thrifty utilitarian technique since before the 19th century but is now considered a highly prized form of unintentional abstract textile art. Collector Leanne O’Sullivan first encountered the intriguing indigo patchwork while living in Japan in the 1980s. O’Sullivan’s collection has been gathered on return trips to Japan over the past 25 years, from the snow country of Nagano in the north, around the mountains of Fuji to the seas of Japan, with some pieces dating back to the Meiji era (1868-1912). “Whilst living in Japan I was constantly inspired by the extreme contrasts around me – everywhere I looked there seemed to be a mix of the traditional and contemporary co-existing beautifully.” Leanne O’Sullivan lives and works in Melbourne, Australia, where she designs fashion accessories and craft kits, and teaches workshops in traditional Japanese crafts and culture. Cover image: Unknown Maker, Japanese, Futon Panel (detail) late 19th century, cotton, indigo dye, handwoven kasuri (ikat), handstitched, pieced and patched, 65 x 160cm © Leanne O’Sullivan Unknown Maker, Japanese, Panel (detail) early 20th century, cotton, indigo dye, handwoven kasuri (ikat), katazome (resist stencil dyed), handstitched, pieced and patched, 30 x 183cm © Leanne O’Sullivan In response to these textile pieces, this exhibition includes a small selection of objects from the TAMA Collection, originating from The Art of the Japanese Package, an exhibition curated by Hideyuki Oka that toured to 10 Australian and 11 New Zealand public galleries in 1979 and 1980.

  • I Was Tempted by a Pretty Coloured Muslin
    “I was tempted by a pretty y y coloured muslin”: Jane Austen and the Art of Being Fashionable MARY HAFNER-LANEY Mary Hafner-Laney is an historic costumer. Using her thirty-plus years of trial-and-error experience, she has given presentations and workshops on how women of the past dressed to historical societies, literary groups, and costuming and re-enactment organizations. She is retired from the State of Washington . E E plucked that first leaf o ff the fig tree in the Garden of Eden and decided green was her color, women of all times and all places have been interested in fashion and in being fashionable. Jane Austen herself wrote , “I beleive Finery must have it” (23 September 1813) , and in Northanger Abbey we read that Mrs. Allen cannot begin to enjoy the delights of Bath until she “was provided with a dress of the newest fashion” (20). Whether a woman was like Jane and “so tired & ashamed of half my present stock that I even blush at the sight of the wardrobe which contains them ” (25 December 1798) or like the two Miss Beauforts in Sanditon , who required “six new Dresses each for a three days visit” (Minor Works 421), dress was a problem to be solved. There were no big-name designers with models to show o ff their creations. There was no Project Runway . There were no department stores or clothing empori - ums where one could browse for and purchase garments of the latest fashion. How did a woman achieve a stylish appearance? Just as we have Vogue , Elle and In Style magazines to keep us up to date on the most current styles, women of the Regency era had The Ladies Magazine , La Belle Assemblée , Le Beau Monde , The Gallery of Fashion , and a host of other publications (Decker) .

  • Printing of Pigments and Special Effects
    TECHNICAL BULLETIN 6399 Weston Parkway, Cary, North Carolina, 27513 • Telephone (919) 678-2220 ISP 1017 PRINTING OF PIGMENTS AND SPECIAL EFFECTS This report is sponsored by the Importer Support Program and written to address the technical needs of product sourcers. Copyright 2007, Cotton Incorporated INTRODUCTION Of the print systems used on cotton in the textile industry, pigment printing accounts for as much as seventy percent of the total1. This system requires no pre or post treatment other than drying the fabric. The color gamut is wide, and the sharpness of prints is excellent. Pigments do not react with the cotton fiber and must be adhered to the fabric with a film forming binder, which may detract from the hand of the fabric. However, advances in binder systems have made positive contributions to print performance. Special effects are used in addition to or in combination with pigments to impart a unique look to fabrics. Some of the special effects examined in this bulletin include resist, discharge, and burnout techniques. Alternative pigment types such as thermotropic, phototropic, puff, and plastisol technologies will also be described. PIGMENT PRINTING A textile pigment print system includes the following parameters: • Pigment: A pigment colorant is a colored organic substance that is not readily soluble in most common solvents and imparts coloration to textile substrates only when incorporated with an adequate binder system. • Binder: A pigment binder is the latex polymer resin that forms a three-dimensional film on the surface of the fiber. This film contains the dispersion of textile pigment and will act to adhere the pigment to the surface of the substrate.

Cheney Brothers, the New York Connection Carol Dean Krute Wadsworth Atheneum The Cheney Brothers turned a failed venture in seri-culture into a multi-million dollar silk empire only to see it and the American textile industry decline into near oblivion one hundred years later. Because of time and space limitations this paper is limited to Cheney Brothers' activities in New York City which are, but a fraction, of a much larger story. Brothers and beginnings Like many other enterprising Americans in the 1830s, brothers Charles (1803-1874), Ward (1813-1876), Rush (1815-1882), and Frank (1817-1904), Cheney became engaged in the time consuming, difficul t business of raising silk worms until they discovered that speculation on the morus morticaulis, the white mulberry tree upon which the worms fed, might be far more profitable. As with all high profit operations the tree business was a high-risk venture, throwing many investors including the Cheney brothers, into bankruptcy.

These are the elements of rozome. Many cultures consider fabric dyeing an art form. Historically it has been seen as clothing to designate rank or status, ritual cloth created to celebrate or commemorate life passages, soft hangings to narrate old stories of religion and myth or to depict honored royalty and even deities. In Japan wax-resist is not called batik but roketsu-zome or the shortened form, ro-zome (wax-dyeing). Although modern European and American batik have been inspired by the wax-resist fabrics of Indonesia, Japan has its own historical source flowing from the Asian continent; a flow that inspired the textile treasures stored in the Shosoin Repository of Nara for more than 1200 years. Japanese rozome is a sister of the batik of Indonesia, but the Japanese process has many distinctive techniques; a unique product of Japanese inventiveness. In current time it has grown out of the area of ethnology and decorative arts and into the field of fine arts where it has dazzled thousands with its dynamic possibilities. Japanese Resist-Dyeing: History and Practice Japan has an ancient tradition of fine resist-dyed textiles extending over 1200 years. During the Nara Period (645-794 CE), three resist techniques flourished: rokechi (wax resist), kokechi (bound resist) and kyokechi (clamp resist).
