Nederlandse versie hier. During my research project Weaving Glitches, I came up with my own weaving technique. I call it a weaving technique because it is a different way of designing than usual. It is quite simple in the basics, and yet I see very few fabrics designed this way. There are certainly advanced weavers

Nederlandse versie hier. In the third cloth I wove for my Weaving Glitches research, I wanted to explore even further how to weave particular patterns and structures on sixteen shafts. The construction of the warp consists of five lanes, each of which is a kind of mixture of the network and echo weaving technique. Actually,

Nederlandse versie hier. In the first cloth for my Weaving Glitches research, I tried to almost literally implement graphic computer glitches into a weave. I used black lines in the warp, which sometimes reoccur in the wefts. Furthermore, I used diagonal arrangements in the warp in different variations, and something based on the echo weaving

Nederlandse versie hier. While looking for interesting structures to weave, I came across Eva Stossel’s moiré experiment. She was building on experiments and work by Verda Elliott to obtain the moiré effect in weaves. I was immediately fascinated. Only I did have a problem, the technique explained there is meant for a 16 shaft loom
