Today I went to the Warp and Weft exhibition at the Smith’s Row gallery, Bury St Edmunds. It was a very inspiring exhibition, I loved the contemporary and 3d approaches to weaving. Studying weave, I know that generally there is not much known about weaving and it was great to see and exhibition dedicated to this. It is this 3d approach to weaving that was most interesting for me, I have only briefly experimented with collapse weave and a double cloth, and something I would like to develop within my own work. I also want to do very textured weaves, it is the textures that draw have me into textiles.
