‘A WEAVERS APPROACH..’
ITAD -WEAVE EXHIBITION

School of Textile and Apparel Design | KSID| 8TH TO 12TH DEC, 2018

About the event…
The ‘A WEAVERS APPROACH’ held on the 8th to 12th of December at the 8 Point Art Café, Ashramam, Kollam was an effort to build, appreciate and showcase the love for yarns, by The students of Integrated Textile and Apparel Design under the Kerala State Institute of Design, Chandanathope, Kollam. The students underwent a 20-day long crafted journey to learn the basics of interlacing practices plus a net worthy frames of loom structure under the guidance of Textile Designer –NIFT graduate Mr Vinay Kumar and faculty in charge Mr. Fibin V Raj.

About the course…
The course "fabric structure 1" helps us to understand the basic concept of weaving and the processes behind it with traditional practices dating back centuries. With the advance of technology and introduction of power looms, the age-old tradition is fading away, it is our duty as textile enthusiasts to restore and uplift the craft to its former glory.

‘A WEAVERS APPROACH..’
The event was inaugurated on 8TH December in the presence of the KSID Family as well as tremendous support from Textile/ weave lovers across Kollam. The event was graced with the presence of well-renowned Fashion Designers such as Mr. Mridul Jacob and Mrs. Aliya Raeesa Sulthana and many more eminent personalities in Kollam, who were awestruck with unseen effort taken behind the age old traditional practice of interlacing yarns. The visitors were explained the trememdous journey of how the yarn is formed into exquisite fabric of unique weaves patterns. The story begins with the Charka, with which the yarn (which is receieved in to form of ‘Hanks’ ) is wound onto a bobbin which in turn is wound around a warping beam according to the length, width and fabric colour required. From there it is stretched horizontally taken out of the beam and inserted into the loom, where each yarn is passed individually through the ‘hields eye’ and taken to the reed according to the drafting pattern required. The yarns inserted on to the loom form the warp yarns and the weft yarns are inserted by hand.

Creative weaving
A loom was set to engage the audience as well as to understand the as well as try out the act of weaving. Ribbons, Thread, leaves, hay, coir etc were used for its creation. Through this fun filled activity, the audience were able to understand the hardwork and patience a weaver has to take for his livelihood and how neglected they have been.
