Loom Interventions - Making that Loom Work For You!
Sally will describe the many and varied loom interventions that she has conducted over the past five to eight years. The looms that will be discussed vary in size and complexity from children's looms to a 32 shaft computer dobby loom that was built on top of a Swiss countermarch loom. In addition to her work on looms, Sally will describe the various weaving tools that she has built including a warping mill, electric bobbin winder, warping trapezes, and a cold mangle.
Integral to the modification of any loom is the subject of loom mechanics. Sally will briefly discuss loom mechanics as it relates to different types of looms and to the modifications she has made to her looms. She will also discuss the loom modifications she has made that allow her to weave 3 dimensional shapes.
