On-loom Shaping
A series of projects developing new tools that open up the weaving process itself as a design space — similar in principle to short-row knitting, enabling out-of-plane form to emerge directly on the loom through the controlled manipulation of warp yarns, shuttle, and weft. Making these methods accessible to designers is a key aim.
With Milou Voorwinden, Savanne Klop, and Manel Borrego Carazo.
