The art of tapestry weaving
Prior to the 1800's all tapestries were hand woven. There are two types of looms which tapestries are woven on, vertical and horizontal. The vertical loom produces a more perfect result, as the weaver at any time during his weaving can walk around to the back of the loom to inspect his progress, and effect of the work he is doing. With the horizontal loom, the weaver has to use a mirror placed below the warp threads. As the shuttle is moved back and forth he peers through the open threads, giving him the only evidence of any possible errors made. Consequently, until the piece is completed, the weaver has no idea if he has produced a tapestry free from mistakes. An average daily production was approximately 8 yards of fabric and it took eight hand spinners to keep the supply of yarn. |
