8-Shaft Thermoplastic Exploration
2020, TC-2 Jacquard Woven
Warp: Silk Tweed, Yellow Thermoplastic
Weft: Silk Tweed, Blue Thermoplastic
A quick exploration done while in quarantine. Looking to see how the inclusion of a thermoplastic leno gauze doublewoven with a silk tweed affected the drape and riigiidity of the tweed.
End result has a stiffness similar to neoprene, except with the surface qualitiies of a tweed and gauze. This at-home quarantine project was the start of this journey into material and structure in the context of woven design.
