This issue looks at innovations and traditions. Innovative approaches include spinning with synthetic and semi synthetic fibres explored by Jean Thorn and Carol Leonard. Susie Taylor\u2019s innovative approaches to weave structure are revealed by an interview with Stacey Harvey- Brown. Looking back, Hanne Dahl looks at the end of the long history of the woollen industry in Trowbridge, Wiltshire and Carolyn Griffiths visits a very traditional silk weaving workshop in Japan. Bridging the gap is Catherine Ellis\u2019 exploration of new techniques for natural dyeing, which she uses in her woven shibori work. There are a series of short reports by the recipients of grants from the Theo Moorman Weaving Trust, which gives an insight into the way these weavers are taking their work. Reader\u2019s Showcase tells the story of the development of a striking hanging in last year\u2019s National Exhibition in Glasgow: Nj\u00e1l\u2019s Saga, created by Caroline Thomson. And finally, an introduction to Leigh Spinners Mill, the venue for the National Exhibition 2020, which will, no doubt, combine tradition and innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
