View All Product Type: Belvue School have commissioned Studio Weave to provide design advice on the redevelopment and expansion of their school, to cater for a total of pupils.

Studio Weave was commissioned by Visual Carlow, to produce a booklet that describes 'an articulated sense of place' for the town. The project was made possible by a grant awarded by the Heritage Council and is to become a founding stone and common reference point for all future initiations and projects in the town.

She's up and waiting for you on the outskirts of Bordeaux. Studio Weave were invited to participate in a design competition for the refurbishment and remodelling of St Peter in the Forest Church in Epping Forest, Walthamstow. Working with a number of partners on the exciting and promising development of postindustrial mid-sized cities in Ukraine. Studio Weave have been chosen to create a permanent art installation testing new ways of working and reconnecting people in the historic port town in Pembrokeshire.

The contest initially attracted 95 expressions of interest and 8 finalists were shortlisted for the second stage of tender.

Once upon a time in a beautiful kingdom in the armpit of the mountains As part of a project to bring public function to Ecology Island in Central Park, a neglected corner of Dartford, we have designed a colourful building to act as jolly custodian for the re-imagined park. Today Studio Weave and 00 [zero zero] announced that they are joining forces. This is a research experiment exploring the potential for fictional rational in design proposals through writing. It is a story about a secret institution of bureaucratic kleptomaniacs called secretarians.

A residential care home in Kent has asked us to create new arts, crafts, media and horticulture teaching facilities for people with long-term learning disabilities. Created for Clerkenwell Design Week, Smith is a pavilion and exhibition that showcases the innovative use of tools in making, from historic crafts to contemporary fabrication techniques. The loom remained the same but with the increased volume of thread it could be operated continuously.

The 14th century saw considerable flux in population. The 13th century had been a period of relative peace; Europe became overpopulated. Poor weather led to a series of poor harvests and starvation. There was great loss of life in the Hundred Years War. Then in , Europe was struck with the Black Death and the population was reduced by up to a half.

Arable land was labour-intensive and sufficient workers no longer could be found. Land prices dropped, and land was sold and put to sheep pasture. Traders from Florence and Bruges bought the wool, then sheep-owning landlords started to weave wool outside the jurisdiction of the city and trade guilds. The weavers started by working in their own homes then production was moved into purpose-built buildings. The working hours and the amount of work were regulated.

The putting-out system had been replaced by a factory system. The migration of the Huguenot Weavers , Calvinists fleeing from religious persecution in mainland Europe, to Britain around the time of challenged the English weavers of cotton, woollen and worsted cloth, who subsequently learned the Huguenots' superior techniques.

Before the Industrial Revolution , weaving was a manual craft and wool was the principal staple.

In the great wool districts a form of factory system had been introduced but in the uplands weavers worked from home on a putting-out system. The wooden looms of that time might be broad or narrow; broad looms were those too wide for the weaver to pass the shuttle through the shed, so that the weaver needed an expensive assistant often an apprentice.

This ceased to be necessary after John Kay invented the flying shuttle in The shuttle and the picking stick sped up the process of weaving. The opening of the Bridgewater Canal in June allowed cotton to be brought into Manchester, an area rich in fast flowing streams that could be used to power machinery. Spinning was the first to be mechanised spinning jenny , spinning mule , and this led to limitless thread for the weaver.

Edmund Cartwright first proposed building a weaving machine that would function similar to recently developed cotton-spinning mills in , drawing scorn from critics who said the weaving process was too nuanced to automate. In , he licensed his loom to the Grimshaw brothers of Manchester , but their Knott Mill burnt down the following year possibly a case of arson. Only during the two decades after about , did power-weaving take hold. At that time there were , hand weavers in the UK. The loom became semi-automatic in with Kenworthy and Bulloughs Lancashire Loom.

The various innovations took weaving from a home-based artisan activity labour-intensive and man-powered to steam driven factories process. Most power weaving took place in weaving sheds, in small towns circling Greater Manchester away from the cotton spinning area.

The earlier combination mills where spinning and weaving took place in adjacent buildings became rarer.

Wool and worsted weaving took place in West Yorkshire and particular Bradford , here there were large factories such as Lister's or Drummond's, where all the processes took place. Woven 'grey cloth' was then sent to the finishers where it was bleached, dyed and printed. Natural dyes were originally used, with synthetic dyes coming in the second half of the 19th century.

The need for these chemicals was an important factor in the development of the chemical industry. The invention in France of the Jacquard loom in about , enabled complicated patterned cloths to be woven, by using punched cards to determine which threads of coloured yarn should appear on the upper side of the cloth. The jacquard allowed individual control of each warp thread, row by row without repeating, so very complex patterns were suddenly feasible.

Samples exist showing calligraphy, and woven copies of engravings. Jacquards could be attached to handlooms or powerlooms. A distinction can be made between the role and lifestyle and status of a handloom weaver, and that of the powerloom weaver and craft weaver. The perceived threat of the power loom led to disquiet and industrial unrest. Well known protests movements such as the Luddites and the Chartists had hand loom weavers amongst their leaders. In the early 19th century power weaving became viable. Richard Guest in made a comparison of the productivity of power and hand loom weavers:.

A very good Hand Weaver, a man twenty-five or thirty years of age, will weave two pieces of nine-eighths shirting per week, each twenty-four yards long, and containing one hundred and five shoots of weft in an inch, the reed of the cloth being a forty-four, Bolton count, and the warp and weft forty hanks to the pound, A Steam Loom Weaver, fifteen years of age, will in the same time weave seven similar pieces. Hand loom weavers were mainly men — due to the strength needed to batten.

The women of the house would spin the thread they needed, and attend to finishing. Later women took to weaving, they obtained their thread from the spinning mill , and working as outworkers on a piecework contract. Over time competition from the power looms drove down the piece rate and they existed in increasing poverty. Power loom workers were usually girls and young women. They had the security of fixed hours, and except in times of hardship, such as in the cotton famine , regular income. They were paid a wage and a piece work bonus. Even when working in a combined mill, weavers stuck together and enjoyed a tight-knit community.

They were assisted by 'little tenters', children on a fixed wage who ran errands and did small tasks. They learnt the job of the weaver by watching. He would inevitably be a man, as were usually the overlookers. The mill had its health and safety issues, there was a reason why the women tied their hair back with scarves. Inhaling cotton dust caused lung problems, and the noise was causing total hearing loss.

Weavers would mee-maw [45] [46] as normal conversation was impossible.

Weavers used to 'kiss the shuttle', that is, suck thread though the eye of the shuttle. This left a foul taste in the mouth due to the oil, which was also carcinogenic. Arts and Crafts was an international design philosophy that originated in England [48] and flourished between and especially the second half of that period , continuing its influence until the s.

Hand weaving was highly regard and taken up as a decorative art.

In the s the weaving workshop of the Bauhaus design school in Germany aimed to raise weaving, previously seen as a craft, to a fine art, and also to investigate the industrial requirements of modern weaving and fabrics. Colonial America relied heavily on Great Britain for manufactured goods of all kinds. British policy was to encourage the production of raw materials in colonies and discourage manufacturing.

The Wool Act restricted the export of colonial wool. The colonists also used wool, cotton and flax linen for weaving, though hemp could be made into serviceable canvas and heavy cloth. They could get one cotton crop each year; until the invention of the cotton gin it was a labour-intensive process to separate the seeds from the fibres.

A plain weave was preferred as the added skill and time required to make more complex weaves kept them from common use. Sometimes designs were woven into the fabric but most were added after weaving using wood block prints or embroidery. Textile weaving, using cotton dyed with pigments, was a dominant craft among pre-contact tribes of the American southwest, including various Pueblo peoples, the Zuni , and the Ute tribes. The first Spaniards to visit the region wrote about seeing Navajo blankets. With the introduction of Navajo-Churro sheep , the resulting woolen products have become very well known.

By the 18th century the Navajo had begun to import yarn with their favorite color , Bayeta red. Using an upright loom, the Navajos wove blankets worn as garments and then rugs after the s for trade.
