Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques Judy, Your trip sounds wonderful.... I have been collecting information about tablet weaving in Asia, and have found very little. Of the countries you are planning to visit, I have only found one reference so far. In "The Techniques of Tablet Weaving", Fig. 116 shows idling tablets used in a two-color pattern on a contemporary Laotian band made in 2-strand warp twining. But, if you were able to travel just a little further, to Burma or Indonesia, there is more documentation about the history of TW in both of these countries. I would love to know if anyone is still doing TW there today. Will look forward to hearing about your adventures, and I hope you find some TW!
