This website is designed primarily to share information that I have gathered about weaving in my weaving career. It is intended to be a compendium of information about equipment, design, structures, projects as well as lessons I have developed.
My passion is to study weaving as it was done between 1600 - 1865 in both Europe and the United States. I will admit I am not a purist, everything that I produce is not an attempt to produce a museum quality reproduction of a fabric that I studied. I like to work like most musicians, studying the classics, and then developing my own design using materials available to me. This results in fabrics that are very usable, but somehow feel classic.
When I discuss equipment, and how it can be used I am not attempting to be the ultimate historical resource, there are many in the academic community that are better at this pursuit than I am. My intent to give the viewer and idea of the type of equipment and its basic construction. I may make use of images in the public domain in an effort to place images in a context that the viewer can relate to.
Regarding copyright, it is not my intent to reproduce any printed or digital copyrighted material other than to explain to a viewer how best to acquire these materials. I will use links where possible to digital works to give credit to their proper sources. As I am not attempting to sell anything on this section of the site, all copyright owners should understand that I am presenting these items for educational purposes only.
