The TC2 - a digital jacquard prototyping loom is the seminal innovation from Digital Weaving Norway with Vibeke Vestby at the helm. The design is read directly from the draft via the digital image editing program into the loom and woven experimentally by hand. Impressions from the TC2 workshop with Vibeke Vestby in Hoenefoss/Norway ...
The TC2 intensive workshop with Vibeke Vestby will take place directly at the site of Tronrud Engineering/Hoenefoss, the headquarters of Digital Weaving Norway, one hour west of Oslo. Invited to the workshop: a small group of textile designers from universities and freelancers from Canada, Ireland, Belgium and Germany. A productive and highly motivated group. The topics: How does the TC2 work as a production loom for jacquard prototyping, how can the design be transferred from the computer to the loom, how can the fabric weave be implemented directly in Photoshop, how do multi-weft weaves work via Photoshop, how does the TC2 differ from its predecessor model TC1, what difficulties can arise on the TC2 and how can they be resolved ...
The work and the group were intense and inspiring. Along with Vibeke Vestby was Geetika Nautiyal from Tronrud Engineering.
MANY THANKS TO VIBEKE AND GEETIKA AND DIGITAL WEAVING NORWAY!!!
