The Threadbare Exhibition

As the Threadbare exhibition approaches, I was given some invitations by the gallery. They look great and promise a little opening ‘party’ too. I’ve entered eight textiles and one of my photos was even included on the invitation. I’m in with some pretty heavy names of textile artists, so I’ll get to explore and see some interesting work. Hopefully I’ll get some decent photos to post up, too. My previous post on clasped weft has heated up a couple of weavers to try it out. Kimberley has been busy weaving clasped weft scarves which are really beautiful. She also has another beautiful muted version. Cally, has taken the idea and applied it to a waffle weave. It’s a weft challenge for her and the results are great. Then if that’s not enough for you, get over to Lynne at the twisted warp to see what she has in mind for the clasped weft. She is going to use it on her vibrant warp. I love how everyone has a vision when they see a technique that just might……It’s a shame that clasped weft is so hard to say because it’s easy to do. Any other ideas?

I was reading through Handwoven’s Design Collection #7 last night and there is a sweater in there that uses clasped weft, although they call is meet-and-separate. I am thinking a sweater might be next
YEAH! You’re on the invitation!!! Please keep us posted on how the evening turns out. SO exciting!!!!! Can’t wait to see the pics. Congratulations!
I hope to get to the loom this weekend to begin (again) the vibrant warp. Otherwise Monday is D-day to begin the CW piece…so excting to begin because I am going to try to throw in some multiple CW in the middle of the warp…um yeah. I’ll keep you posted on the monster Kaz helped create.
