Work in progress

I used Arahpaint in the design process and Arahweave to do the
Jacquardconvertion.







This how it looks now, on the loom...

New work on the TC1

Inspired by the Lisio visit, I couldn't wait to get my own Jacquard working again. Warping, designing, making of a coloured drawing, assigning weavestructures...

I want to find out what can be done by using a white warp and three basic colours as weft, like in the time of the pointiists, early twenty century.

This is a test for the colourblending...

The samples at the Jacquard loom in Lisio

You can see the results of the projects on picasaweb together with some photo's of the fondation. My own work can be seen here:



As  you can see are the colours different from the sample, this is because I changed weft rotation.

Fondazione Arte della Seta Lisio

Back home from a week in Florence, Italy. I went with three students  of the specialisation years of KASKAdko, Gele Huis, department weaving and two collleagues to the Fondazione Lisio.
After half a day of textile analising and half a day of computer initiation (point-carré), the real work started...  Adjusting the artwork, determing weaving structures and testing these on the jacquard loom...

Silk Fabric

I'm working on a facebook page for The Yellow House, here the textile departments from (the part-time) Royal Academy of Antwerp are situated. We have three options: Contemporary Lace, Textile Art and WeavingArt. (I teach design- and weaving in the weaving art department for twoyears now.)
You are invited to become a fan.

The WeavingArt department has also created a group page, weavers that have a warm hart for us are welcome.
