  • A Special and Unusual Loom Frame from the First Half of the Nine
    FINDING THE THREAD RESTORATION OF A PROFESSIONAL WEAVER'S LOOM Rabbit Goody A special and unusual loom frame from the first half of the nine­ teenth century now in the collection of the Ontario Agricultural Mu­ seum, Milton, Ontario,1 has provided an opportunity to examine some of the specialized equipment used by weavers in the nineteenth century to weave cloth with speed, intricate geometric patterns, and/or accommodate longer lengths of cloth. Surviving examples of cloth have made it apparent that trained weavers, weaving fancy cloth during the nineteenth century were using more complex equipment than that commonly associated with home textile produc­ tion. However, until now surviving examples of the equipment have been scarce. The museum's loom is one of a small number that can be linked to the production of the more complex cloths of this pe­ riod. At least, it has specialized equipment which professional weavers might choose to place on their looms. It is the most com­ plete example currently known. In their book, "Keep Me Warm One Night", Dorothy and Harold Burnham have identified this loom as being a professional weaver's loom because of its specialized features.2 It is being restored for the purpose of reproducing some of the more intricate cloth woven by professional weavers in the Niagara Peninsula. The survival of this loom frame, with its special features, has made it possible to set certain criteria for identifying other looms used by professionals and to corroborate the descrip­ tions of equipment and methods found in publications and manuscripts from the last half of the eighteenth century and early nineteenth century used to weave fancy cloth rapidly by profes­ sionals.

    Inkle and Tablet Weaving Next Steps – Beyond the Basics A lecture and discussion class covering inkle and tablet (card) weaving techniques that go beyond warp based designs. Class will cover: Patterning using brocading and pickup work; adding beads, loops, bells, and fringe; adding and removing warp threads; using multiple shuttles. There are no hands on activity in the class; we’ll have descriptive handouts, samples, demos, and discussion. I.

  • Glossary of Tapestry Terms
    [This glossary is not meant to be all-inclusive, or the ultimate authority on definitions. It was developed from a few submitted glossaries and includes primarily words that refer directly to tapestry weaving. However, the glossary is meant to be useful. So with that objective, we would like to experiment with a “Wikipedia” style glossary. You can: • add a word and its definition. • add to, or modify the definition of one of the words already in the glossary. • submit a digital image to illustrate one of the terms. Submit your additions to: Mary Lane: [email protected] Thanks for helping out!] Glossary of Tapestry Terms Abrash – Slight variations in the weft color due to different dye lots, or to differences in dye absorption in the same dye lot. Arrondiment – (French) Soumak. Aubusson – (French) A city in France in which many commercial, low warp ateliers are located. The word is often used to refer, in a generic way, to low warp weaving. Awl – A pointed, metal instrument used for piercing small holes in leather, wood, etc. Weavers use awls to loosen, or pick apart, the densely packed weft and to manipulate the surface of the woven fabric. Basse-licier – (French) Low warp tapestry weaver. Basse lisse – (French) A low warp loom; low warp weaving. Bâton de croisure – (French) Shed stick. Battage – (French) A woven technique used for shading and transparencies in which the number of full passes of two or more colors changes in a proportional manner. Beams – Rollers on a loom, the warp beam holds the extra warp and the cloth beam holds the finished cloth.

  • Weaving My Math to Make Art
    Weaving My Math to Make Art Curriculum This curriculum was developed for the Boulder Valley School District by art teacher Virginia Schick and math teacher Kelly Armitage. The integrated curriculum interlocks math concepts and visual art concepts to create a hands-on art/math curriculum. Integral to the success of this program is teacher training. The curriculum is offered as a one-day continuing education workshop which includes instruction in inkle weaving and teaching the math concepts. In addition, to make the curriculum available throughout the school district, the materials have been assembled into a kit that is checked out by classroom teachers for a specified period of time from the district resource center, making the materials available district wide. Weaving My Math To Make Art” was made possible by a Foundation of Boulder Valley Schools mini- grant and a Boulder Arts Commission grant. Additional assistance was provided by Schacht Spindle Company, manufacturer, Shuttles Spindles and Skeins, weaving and yarn store, and the Handweavers Guild of Boulder. The lesson plans are presented here with permission. Resources for finding out more: F&W Media/Interweave Press Publishers of books and magazines about weaving and spinning, and the textile arts. Their web site lists numerous resources that could be helpful to teachers establishing weaving programs in their schools, as well as basic information about weaving and spinning. Handweavers Guild of America This national organization has affiliate guilds across the country. Their web site is a good resource for information about local guilds, schools, and resources.

  • Dark Age Tablet Weaving
    Dark Age Tablet Weaving for Viking and Anglo-Saxon re-enactors 1 Introduction Tablet weaving, also known as card weaving, is a method of using square tablets with holes in the corners to weave narrow decorative bands made of wool, linen or silk threads. Tablet weaving was widespread in Europe and Britain in the first millenium AD and is an excellent craft for historical re-enactors as it is portable, interesting, little known nowadays and you can make beautiful bands to decorate your outfit. However, creating replicas of Dark Age bands is challenging. Many of the surviving historic bands are difficult to weave, and so most re-enactors either buy in tablet-weaving or weave simplified bands, and may use patterns and techniques that aren't appropriate to the Dark Ages. The aim of this document is to describe the characteristic styles and methods of Dark Age tablet- weaving. There is also information about materials, equipment and tablet-weaving techniques. Perhaps the most striking theme of the historic bands is inventiveness, and the advantage of the historic techniques is that they allow the weaver to create a far wider range of patterns than the modern methods, which were mostly developed in the 19th and 20th centuries as tablet-weaving was 'rediscovered' in Europe1. This document isn't exhaustive, and I recommend that the interested reader explore further patterns and techniques. There are many good patterns available online. Just remember, as I once read on the internet, the first instruction in tablet weaving is “remove the cat”. Please contact me with any comments or corrections.

As is often the case with the finest villas of the Roman provinces, a thorough- going study of the site of Els Antigons reveals the reasons for its splendour. Many major economic activities have been identified1. First, four pottery kilns have been found, which would have made amphorae for storing wine2. This provides indirect evidence that the agriculture of the villa included wine production, and in fact remains of a cellar have also been found. There are also traces of iron-making, and the bones found in the excavations highlight the presence of significant level of livestock farming, particularly oxen3.
