I think if I was offered a choice of an old dobby loom or an old Jacquard I'd chose the dobby as I'm not interested in figurative patterns. Will you get to use one of the dobby looms?Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978632925950937140.post-23068762282595549692010-03-04T14:15:51.249+00:002010-03-04T14:15:51.249+00:00Wow, that must be great to watch a real expert at ...Wow, that must be great to watch a real expert at work and learn the tricks firsthand! It seems that in every endeavour human beings will come up with ways of doing things that are just a bit quicker, a bit less effort... Weaving has been around so long but has changed so much - it would be dreadful if all those centuries of development were lost because no-one learns the secrets any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978632925950937140.post-42640814500140992532010-03-02T19:49:51.869+00:002010-03-02T19:49:51.869+00:00Sounds like I shoulda tagged along with you LOL.. ...Sounds like I shoulda tagged along with you LOL..

However, not all metalwork needs a forge, there's a lot you can do with a welding kit and in Derbyshire we have adult education classes in welding.<br /><br />However, old mechanical dobby looms often come up for sale quite cheap as not many people have space for them, so when the day arrives that you get your studio make sure it has a high ceiling!Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978632925950937140.post-32600457999176866362010-03-02T08:50:19.367+00:002010-03-02T08:50:19.367+00:00Hello
