  • Historia Patchworku Patchwork I Pikowanie (Quilting)
    Historia patchworku Patchwork i pikowanie (quilting) były praktykowane od wieków, zarówno jako rzemiosło praktyczne, jak i dekoracyjne. Ich popularność utrzymywała się w zależności od zmian w społeczeństwie, a style rozwijały się w zależności od dostępnych zasobów i statusu społecznego twórcy. Dzięki swej bogatej i ciekawej historii, wiek XXI zaowocował rozkwitem tej formy rzemiosła, które stało się popularne i powszechnie praktykowane, bazując na tradycyjnych umiejętnościach i pozwalając na eksperymentowanie ze współczesnymi technikami artystycznymi. Dowody na istnienie patchworku widać na przestrzeni stuleci – istnienie większego kawałka tkaniny, składającego się z małych kawałków, połączonych w całość pikowaniem jest udokumentowne w historii. Najwcześniejsze ślady zostały zlokalizowane w egipskich grobowcach, a także we wczesnych Chinach około 5000 lat temu. Kolejne znaleziska zostały datowane już we wczesnym średniowieczu, gdzie warstwy pikowanej tkaniny zostały wykorzystane w konstrukcji zbroi - gdzie utrzymuje ciepło i chroni żołnierza. Podobna konstrukcję miały pancerze japońskie. Stosując tę technikę, patchworki zaczęły pojawiać się w gospodarstwach domowych od XI do XII wieku. Ponieważ europejski klimat mocno się ochłodził w tym czasie, potrzeba używania ciepłych nakryć wzrosła i tak rozwinęla się praktyka upiększania prostej tkaniny poprzez stworzenie wzoru i projektu dekoracyjnego pikowania. Najstarszy istniejący użytkowy quilt to pikowany dywan, znaleziony w mongolskiej jaskini. Jest przechowywany w Sankt Petersburgu, powstał prawdopodobnie w XI wieku. Tristana i Izoldy. Tristan Quilt powstał na Sycylii ok. 1360 roku. Składa się z dwóch gładkich warstw lnu i wypełnienia. Pikowanie jasnymi i brązowymi nićmi utworzyło obrazy, dodatkowo uwypuklone przez wprowadzenie pomiędzy warstwy bawełnianych włókien (technika trapunto). Jedna z części tego quiltu jest przechowywana w Victoria and Albert Museum w Londynie. Niewiele jednak wiadomo o patchworku i quiltingu przed wiekiem XVIII, i mało jest przykładów, które przetrwały do naszych czasów.

  • Soft Glass – the Aesthetic Qualities of Kiln Formed Glass with Recycled Inclusions
    SOFT GLASS – THE AESTHETIC QUALITIES OF KILN FORMED GLASS WITH RECYCLED INCLUSIONS SELINA-JAYNE TOPHAM A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Birmingham City University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2012 The Faculty of Art and Design, Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, Birmingham City University Abstract My research is about combining recycled materials with glass structures to produce textile artworks that have unique aesthetic qualities and a considerable lifespan. This thesis examines the technical development of kiln-formed glass voided structures, the aesthetic qualities of colour and softness and the effect of the research experience on my practice. The practical element of the research consisted of 18 experiments inspired by visits to the Seychelles and Barbados. The technical development was informed by concepts of being and non-being and by glass-making processes dating back to 1650 BC in Northern Mesopotamia, as well as fabric manipulation techniques thought to have originated in the fourteenth century in Sicily. Some 37 technical principles were discovered together with documented firing schedules that could be generalised to kiln-formed glass making. In terms of artwork aesthetics a methodology was developed that identified 32 qualities informed by colour theories. To eliminate errors in terminology the origins of each of these colour theories were identified and described using examples of artworks from living artists. The main aesthetic qualities identified were light/dark contrast, colour direction in terms of composition and optical colour mixing, with the latter being traced back to theory associated with early Christian glass mosaics. I also discovered how my roles of artist maker and researcher led to insights that contextualised my practice the most profound of which resulted from revisiting an experimental failure, which led to the identification of a new aesthetic quality of softness based on visual perception rather than tactile response.

Getting Started. Padded wear could be put on under armour to make it more comfortable, or even as a top layer for those who couldn't afford metal armour. For a time, the trend in wholecloth quilting was a preference for all-cotton white quilts. Obviously, quilting as a craft came to America with the early Puritans. Can I get hurt using a quilting machine? Playing on the word crazy they gave plans for "crazy" tea parties using mismatched invitations and other "crazy" themes. Wrap Up. This meant women no longer had to spend time spinning and weaving to provide fabric for their family's needs. In the lateth-century quilt revival, teachers like Elly Sienkiewicz repopularized the Baltimore Album style. Quilting in Modern Times Quilting has experienced a revival over the last 60 years. The wool wholecloth quilt was made in by Martha Crafts Howard. One of the most popular exhibits was the Japanese pavilion with its fascinating crazed ceramics and asymmetrical art. The story of a family was also commemorated in hand-pieced fabric. Essentially, a knee lifter is an attachable part that lets you control the position of a presser foot with your knee. Often these quilts provide the only decoration in a simply furnished home and they also were commonly used for company or to show wealth.

  • DESIGN PRESENTATION Preface
    ‘TEXTILE HERITAGE INSPIRING CREATIVES-CREATEX’ EUROPEAN PROJECT OPEN CALL ANDREA SEBASTIANELLI_ DESIGN PRESENTATION Preface It is important to always keep in mind that while the verb “to archive” resembles the action of collecting records, the noun “archive” defines the physical place or ob- ject which contains those records. We can therefore argue that an archive is both the action of documenting the history and also the translation of it into a new object. I have been questioning myself for some- time now on how archives can be more easily experienced by everyone and there- fore transformed into an object that would reinvent its original identity. An object which will bring the archive out from the museums and turn it into new forms and functions. This double dimension has been my starting point for the following design research. A ground breaking initiatives in making archives more accessible is the digitaliza- tion that Museums and Privite collectors have been doing in the past years. By creating online databases, it became much easier for everybody to have access to their stored material. When it comes to textiles, and specifically to textile museums, the creation of online databases with textiles and fabrics make easier for researchers to study and conduct research on the field. Therefore, it can be argued that the digitalization of the archives promotes reproducibility and in- spires new developments and applications on the field. But how can a collection of objects can turn into a vehicle for the promotion of a museums’s online archive? 2 Creative Inspiration The development of my concept was inspired by three Our social identity is defined by the objects we are main projects: The new Acropolis Museum in Athens, surrounded.

UNCOVERING EVERYDAY LEARNING AND TEACHING WITHIN THE QUILTING COMMUNITY OF AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arts at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Linda Claire Warner 2018 Plate 1 Te kuira Aotearoa Machine pieced and appliquéd, cotton, 1640 x 1890mm Linda Warner, 2014 Quilted by Lesley O’Rourke Inspired by New Zealand quilt designers Donna Ward and Jacqui Karl Photograph: Richard Robinson iii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the social and cultural phenomenon of everyday learning and teaching within the communal activity of quiltmaking. Home-sewn quilts are rarely associated with the needleworkers’ high level of knowledge and skill; yet, the quilters’ act of knowing is practical, inherently social, and intentional. This research study examines the collaborative processes of “quilting together” to understand cultural patterns of participation; and investigates the participants’ meaning-making experiences to facilitate an analysis of collective knowledge practices. Using an ethnographic methodology, this research investigated the lived experiences of quilters within the situated context of two quilting groups, located in Aotearoa New Zealand. Observations were made of participants’ engagement in quilting activities as they interacted with each other, material artefacts and quilting tools. These observations took place during regular quilting sessions and special events. Interviews were conducted with founding members to gain an understanding of cultural-historical processes, as well as a purposively selected sample of ten participants who shared their personal quilting experiences.

    Coastlines Coastal Quilters Guild of Santa Barbara & Goleta, California Volume 29, No.4 October 2017 October Speakers: SB Modern Quilt Guild We are in for a real treat at the October meeting. Several members of the Santa Barbara Modern Quilt Guild (some of whom are also Coastal Quilters members) will share their journey into Modern Quilting and show quilts they have designed. About the Modern Quilt Guild: The MQG developed out of the thriving online community of modern quilters and their desire to meet in person. The founding guild was formed in Los Angeles in October 2009. The Santa Barbara MQG started in 2010 as an informal group meeting at the Fabric Quarter. Membership in the MQG was formalized in the summer of 2013; the SBMQG became a formal chapter and is now one of 170 guilds worldwide. There are approximately 12,000 members of the MQG--a small but diverse group of quilters from a variety of backgrounds. Reminder - the October workshop is an “Open Sew” day at Goleta Community Center. November Speaker/Workshop: Dora Cary At the November meeting, Romanian quilt designer Dora Cary of Orange Dot Quilts will share her love of making patterns and teaching quilting. Described as “fresh and original”, Dora’s patterns will be featured at the workshop the next day when m embers will make their choice of one of four Orange Dot patterns. Guild members who have taken a class with Dora say she’s a terrific teacher who gives a great workshop. Dora’s workshop patterns will be for sale at the meeting and can be downloaded from her website, www.etsy.com/shop/ OrangeDotQuilts .
