Jacquard

S T R U C T U R E S 

This afternoon we have had a structures session on how to get our designs onto the jacquard in order to produce some new samples. Lesley told us to bring an image without many colours and I thought this would be suitable but when we began to learn the programme I realised that it actually had around 260 colours! I chose this image as I wanted to produce something quite photographic on the jacquard as I thought it would look really different to my other weaving. I took these photographs when I was working out the spacing between my pleats and the sizes of each one. 

The longer image above is the one that I ended up using for this session, I decided on a tiled pattern as if I don't have much time to go on the jacquard I can easily weave a little bit of it, rather than trying to finish a huge sample with one non repeat image.
