Reflecting on tradition through the creation of contemporary textile object in the old- fashioned way

In today's modern day, hand weaving has almost fallen into oblivion. This skill traces its roots back to prehistoric times, when the invention of the weaving loom, in a certain way, revolutionized the production of textiles. This principle of the weaving process remained unchanged for thousands of years, until the industrial revolution that automated it and thus initiated the unstoppable development of the technological fabrication process. In addition, weaving used to play an important role in society. In the 21st century, marked by automation and mass production, artificial fabrics and market saturation, hand weaving is almost extinct. In Croatia, besides the above, the negative perception of the domestic textile industry in the society is also present. There is also insufficient interest in the exploitation of natural resources in the form of systematic collection of wool and its industrial processing. The aim of this research is to explore the possibility of creating a textile woven object of contemporary design in an old-fashioned way, thus stimulating reflection on tradition and preservation of cultural heritage and the untapped potential of wool.
