Nieves Neira (periodista con el Progreso) with members of the Fundación TIC.
Here you can see Nieves Neira, journalist from the Progreso newspaper, along with members of Fundación TIC, who came to textilesnaturales to record a multi-sensory interview for the Progreso at Anna Champeney Textile Studio. Via a QR link on the article which will come out in the Progreso between the 30 May and 7 June 2015 you´ll be able to access the sound recording which was made of one of the “Fine Bubble” double-weave linen scarves being hand-woven on the loom.
The sounds represent the weaver laying in each thread on the loom. 2000 individual rows are needed to weave each unique piece.
The sound is quite different to traditional hand-weaving. Because the fabric design requires the weaver to weave slowly, squeezing each row in with the loom “beater” instead of whacking it hard it is a quieter sound.
