Jacquard Design and Weaving course. Figured fabrics drawn with the weft

Teacher: Eva Basile

This unit introduces the Jacquard design process: structure of the fabric design, pattern drawing, loom technology, design of figured fabrics, decorative ground weft effects and the specifics of the Lisio loom set-ups. Patterning of the fabric surface in this basic course is achieved using self-patterning ground weft techniques.

Each participant verifies the entire process at the Lisio workshop on one of the 5 hand- operated jacquard looms.
