Historic Weaving

Group Created Wed, 05/13/2009 - 10:53pm

Historic Weaving focuses primarily on historic weaving techniques, and issues surrounding reproducing historic textiles (anything prior to 1950). This list is open to all interested in historic weaving techniques and tools; while weavers interested in early techniques are welcome, this is not exclusively a forum for SCA weavers. The rules are simple:

Be excellent to one another.
Please don't thread-jack.
Have fun!

submitting a paper or a short presentation.

Pre-Columbian period through the 21st century, including textile technology,
costume, quilts, weaving, dyeing, spinning, technological innovations, and
textile availability. Current and unpublished research is especially
encouraged.Those interested in presenting a paper at the Forum
should submit a one-page proposal by April 15, 2011. Proposals chosen

History Forum

The Textile History Forum brings together textile historians, students,
researchers, museum curators, independent scholars, artisans, dealers, and
collectors from around the country for two days of intense exchange.
Participants will have the opportunity to take a behind the scenes tour of the
Historic Cherry Hill textile collection and explore the extensive period
collections of Eastfield Village. There will be a show and tell session for
newly acquired textiles, and a silent auction of textiles and tools.
