“DONATION
I have a Gilmakra upright tapestry loom that I’d like to donate, especially to an educational program. I find that I’m really not using it so want to pass it on. I have pictures showing the whole loom and a few more showing details if you are interested.
It could be used for a collaborative work or someone who wanted to develop their “free-form” weaving. The parts slip together and are held in place by pegs. It quickly ( 5 min. 2 people, 10 min. one) assembles and disassembles and is easy to store and and transport in most any car. quickly ( 5 min. 2 people, 10 min. one) assembles and disassembles and is easy to store and and transport in most any car. Assembled, it is about 40” wide and 5’tall. The active weaving area is about 3×3 but you can weave yards long pieces if you like.
If you are not interested any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!”
Take in a great show at Lakeland Community College. And support CWG member Debbie Silver.

Laura reminds us that there are two interesting textile explorations at hand. These take place before the winter newsletter is published. And make a great way to divert some attention from the holiday preparations.
Happy Thanksgiving to all,

Ancient Andean Textiles
https://www.clevelandart.org/exhibitions/ancient-andean-textiles
The textiles in the current rotation from the permanent collection represent several different civilizations that flourished in the ancient Andes, today Peru and parts of adjacent countries. Though unrelated by cultural affiliation, they are unified by being special in some way, whether through rarity, complexity of execution, or luxuriousness of materials. The centerpiece of the display is a unique cloth that experts regard as one of the greatest paintings to survive from South American antiquity. One of the museum’s masterpieces, it was created by an artist of the Nasca culture (100 BC–AD 650) and depicts a procession of figures who may represent humans dressed in the guises of supernatural beings thought to control nature’s fertility. Other textiles in the rotation include a panel covered in the radiant feathers of the blue-and-yellow macaw, made by artists of the Wari Empire (600–1000), and several fragments that are rare survivors of catastrophic rains that destroyed much of the Moche culture’s (AD 200–850) textile legacy.
