Braids 2022 in one band

Posted on August 21, 2022August 22, 2022 by Marieke

A day after the Braids conference 2022 in Svendborg, Denmark, I am typing this blog fairly exhausted, but full of new knowledge and inspiration. What a great week!!! A meeting with many of my tablet weaving heroes and other well-known yarn lovers. A week full of lectures and workshops, in which I learned so much. But not only during workshops and lectures, but also during breakfast, lunch and dinner. A week in which I concluded that I can compete with my own tablet weaving heroes, but at the same time I realised that I still know very little. A week of which I would like to have many more.

It’s all too much to put in one single blog. But actually the whole week can be summed up in this band. The technique of the band is the Mamasa technique, learned from Keiko Kusakabe en Takako Suzuki. The process was already interesting, because spoken language turned out to be unimportant. It was sometimes difficult to distinguish where the Japanese conversation ended and English started and vice versa. But that didn’t matter: the demonstrations were perfect and everyone helped each other, so we all had woven a piece by the end of the day.

The next day I attended a workshop in finishing Sami bands by Anna Ciucka Sjursen. What knowledge and skills she has! I really wanted to learn one specific finishing technique and you could ask what you liked to learn, so I took the opportunity. And it turned out to be really simple…

In the few free hours (and actually mainly between 6 and 8.30 in the morning) I finished the band, because Friday I wanted to show it at the pop-up exhibition of the samples everyone had made during the week. This band represents to me what Braids 2022 has been: the interaction with other weavers and braiders, the transfer of knowledge, the exchange of cultures. And you can’t express that better than in a red-white-blue band wovenby a Dutchy in Denmark, using an Indonesian technique taught by two Japanese and finished like the Sami do.

One of my weaving friends bought some lovely bands One of my weaving friends bought some lovely bands in Ecuador. The patterns are created by using supplementary warp threads. This is my first attempt to recreate one of the bands and I love the technique!

Reposted from @marieke.gelissen In August 2021 I Reposted from @marieke.gelissen 

In August 2021 I wove a 'basket' from willow rods, in collaboration with weaver Barbara Mahler (@babsmahler). Not just 'a' basket, but a specific one with its own form and characteristics. 

Now I am working on a ‘woven poem’ to accompany this basket. This poem consists of quotes from legends and stories in which the basket has a symbolic or mythical function. These quotes are taken from H.H. Bobarts’ ‘Basketwork through the ages’, a remarkable publication that I luckily encountered at @vlechtmuseumnoordwolde 

The ‘woven poem’ will literally be woven. I am extremely happy that for this project I can work together with inkle and tablet weaving expert Marieke Kranenburg (@dutchinkleweaver). Her skills, expertise and network are crucial in this project.

A team of experienced weavers tested out a variety of techniques, materials and letter patterns. Based on that we made the final decisions on colors, materials and techniques. 

It will take a while before I can show you the results, since weaving by hand is a time consuming proces. But it is nice to give you a glimpse of the proces already.

🙏 Thanks a lot to @fonds_kwadraat for providing an artist loan that enabled me to take this project to the next level!
