We will weave samples of typical 18th c. domestically produced weaving: checked cotton toweling, linen napery, linsey-woolsey, overshot, Venetian carpeting and wool blanketing. A slide lecture on domestic hand weaving and details of several antique textile collections will be included. Simple finishing techniques will be discussed.
