Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques I want to pass on to all of you a very interesting web site in Russia: www.old-chest.narod.ru/tkach.htm. It is in Russian, but you can get a more or less understandable translation using Babel Fish on the Web. The TW technique is transposed warps, and on this page is very clear notation of the movement of the tablets.
Has anyone seen this notation, or worked with this technique? I found it mentioned in Collingwood's TTW and also in Marjorie and William Snow's book. But neither used notation, rather descriptions of how to do it. The website belongs to Tatiana Isaeva and is designed by Galina Gorjainova, who contacted me last April through the Anne Blinks website after looking at the Sprang page, to tell me about another website belonging to Isaeva: www.wool-rainbow.narod.ru/Isaeva/Isaeva_e.htm. I would be very happy to hear if any of you know about Russian traditional weavings and if you know the weavers in St. Petersberg at the Paraskeva School. They are replicating traditional textiles from the Ukraine and Byelorussia and also using these techniques to create modern clothing. Here is the website for the school: www.paraskeva.sp.ru/Russian/English/school_fr_E.htm. This summer Galina is replicating a 19th century man's shirt with a TW sash.
