In the Current Issue...
In this issue we celebrate ‘the blues’ with a strong indigo theme. Jane Deane introduces Michel Garcia’s simple fructose vat, Jenny Balfour-Paul describes a multi-disciplinary educational programme, Christina Chisholm and Isabella Whitworth share their tips for growing and using Japanese indigo and we review Mary Lance’s film Blue Alchemy.
Klara Decker explains how to blend fibres efficiently using a drum carder and we take a step-by-step view of dyeing and weaving ikat with Kaz Madigan. If you have ever wondered how the Vikings kept themselves warm and dry, you will find the answer in Satu Hovi’s article about weaving her own Viking rain cape.
Reports from the 2011 Summer School and Certificate of Achievement bring us up-to-date with Association events. We also hear from the recipients of the 2010 Theo Moorman Trust awards about how the grant has supported their work.
