Hello Karen, do you know where in Melbourne I can order a special design of jacquard or damask or brocade? Or where is the cheapest place to let somebody weave the design you want?

Hi Karen,
Amazing where and when worlds intersect. Its so nice to see pictures of RMIT and the Melbourne weavers. I wish I could have been there to see you again also.

I arrived in Melbourne on the day you posted. We stayed just around the corner from RMIT. It was an experience to be able to watch the sculpture students from street level. I haven’t had a chance to post about my trip yet but its coming. Thanks for sharing your trip

Very interesting. I’ve never actually seen a Jacquard loom before. I have to admit it would intimidate me a little! But I am fascinated with what it can do.

I wonder if the Arm you refer to is the Swiss company – Arm AG? [See http://www.arm-loom.ch/englisch/home.htm. BB Yarns in Brisbane [http://www.bbyarn.com/index.html] imports their 35cm-long boat shuttles which are a dream to use.

Wow – Melbourne sounds like a must-visit destination for weavers. I am always amazed at the visual power of jacquard images and your examples really show it off well.

Hi Patrick. The loom was an ARM?? I was so impressed with the loom I didn’t really bother to find out its maker! But that’s something I should follow up on.

I am so jealous!

What type of jacquard looms were you working on?
