Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques
Hello folks,
Many apologies if the Trier City Museum (in Germany) Coptic textiles
have already been covered on the TW list, but I've always been curious
about them and the Ethiopian topic has revived my curiosity. My visit
was a few years ago. I don't remember much English and, alas, I don't
know any German, so I didn't get much information from the exhibit
other than that the textiles were Coptic. Also, I wasn't a weaver
then. I've just gotten out the notes I made at the time and I've
written that some of the Coptic textiles were definitely tablet
woven. I remember there were some big pieces, and all of the textiles
looked very old to me. I couldn't tell how the big pieces were
woven. How did they end up in Trier? Where exactly did they come
from? Have they been examined lately by anyone who has some
tabletweaving expertise?
I remember the Trier City Museum was close to the Roman Gate. If you
are facing the Gate and on the south side of it, the museum was
located to the left of the Gate. In my notes I called it the Trier
City Museum. Wish I could run over and check things out again. My
visit to Trier was delightful.
a little late (I was very very busy the last weeks) but I hope not too
late I found this mail. For everyone interested: I think you wrote about
the museum Simeonstift: http://www.museum-trier.de/ . Unfortunately it
is closed until spring 2007.
For those interested: The "Deutsches Textilmuseum" (German textile
museum) in Krefeld currently has a tablet weaving exhibition (ending
Apil 17th).
