Local market in Antigua, Guatemala.
Textiles is perhaps Guatemala's best-known and most popular artisanal activity; It is also one of the most important export products in the country. The most popular fabrics are produced by indigenous women, creating intricate designs with multiple colors; but in general, typical fabrics are produced by both, women and men, women use the traditional back-strap loom with wooden sticks, while men use a big pedal loom to produce them.

Organic materials are unbelievably well preserved in Egyptian desert sites. A fragment of an ancient textile lying among pottery outside the Wadi al-Dush fortification is probably more than a millennium old, from the Roman or Coptic phases of occupation.

Amazing, unreal, special, jaw dropping, awesome, super & wonderful, are some of the words that come to mind as I explored about inside the Big Textile Factory
Pattern called "Stugrabatt" ("Cottage Flower Bed").
The designs from Jobs have an utterly timeless identity. The floral fabrics are still printed entirely by hand, just as they were when it all began in the 1930’s.
The siblings Peer, Lisbet and Gocken Jobs were born early in the 1900s. Peer became interested in textile printing and the sisters Lisbet and Gocken were interested in painting and pottery. The print workshop is situated in Västanvik in the province of Dalecarlia (the Dala horse is also originating in the province of Dalecarlia).
(I have had this textile in my home since the 1980s.)

experimenting with gold and silver leaf, as small additions to the recent paper jewelry=textile cookies...especially broken pottery pieces will get such 'real precious metal' highlights

After observing the decaying, painted qualities of buildings during a trip across North India, I decided to explore the theme of ‘Degraded Textures’ in my final collection of woven textiles. With the help of The Gillian Purvis Trust, I visited the TextielLab in The Netherlands during August 2015 to see the production of large-scale jacquards and collections of contemporary woven homeware textiles. Further analysis of fabric collections by contemporary interior brands such as Bute Fabrics and Kvadrat fuelled my interest in designing a range of luxury textiles for contemporary interiors. The fine artist and designer, Bernat Klein, has also been a key influence on my creative process after observing how he translated textures from his paintings into choices of yarn, colour and repeat patterns for interior woven fabrics. My collection of woven fabrics inspired by ‘Degraded Textures’ contains a range of luxury plain, twill and corduroy structures with textures such as fluffy silk mohair, rippled chenille and silk bouclé. These are contrasted with the painted appearance of dipped latex mohair, multicolour fancy silk yarns and compacted elastic shapes on block pattern jacquards. Morton, Young and Borland Textiles, a specialist woven lace company, kindly manufactured some of my repeat pattern designs into sheer madras lace fabrics that complement my collection of dense, textured jacquard and dobby cloths.

among older pieces, a new series of pendants made with textile clay... cotton and hemp become pulp, mixed with glues become clay... I still love this material, enjoy experimenting --

Arrow Mill, Castleton, Rochdale was was designed by Sydney Stott for R & T Howarth. It was built very quickly. The contract to build was signed in late 1906, the first brick was laid in January 1907, the engine first ran under steam in February 1908 and the first cotton was spun in this large mill fifteen months after the first brick was laid. It was acquired by Courtaulds Ltd in 1934 and sold by them to Arrow Mill Fabrics Ltd in 1979. This was the last cotton mill to operate in the Rochdale area and did not cease production until the late 1990s. It is now listed Grade II and is in multiple occupation.
