(3 of 3) Nordic Looms - Digital Weaving Norway

In this episode we travel to Moss in Norway to visit Vibeke Vestby, who founded Digital Weaving Norway in 1995. We trace the development of their TC looms from Vibeke’s early experience as a hand weaver to where the company is today. Thanks to an innovation grant from the Norwegian state, as well as a close collaboration with Tronrud Engineering, Digital Weaving Norway has been able to cater not only to craft interested handweavers but also work closely with institutions and researchers working in the field of technical innovation. During our visit in Norway, we had the opportunity to visit the production sites of Digital Weaving Norway as well as their close collaborators Tronrud Engineering. We interviewed Vibeke Vestby who also invited us into her personal weaving workshop to see her archive of handwoven fabrics and collection of weaving books.

Weaving is known as a tool-heavy craft and most weavers are aware that there exists different kinds of looms, but little attention has been paid to loom design and its influence on the craft of textile making.

(1 of 3) Nordic Looms - Lervad

In this first episode we are visiting the archives of the Danish loom manufacturer Lervad in Vejen, Denmark. They made looms for hand weaving from 1895 until around the 1980s.In the late 1800s we see a reemergence of weaving in Denmark, particularly at the folk high school Askov, which leads to the founding of Lervad. We look at how social changes and reforms during this time influences the craft of weaving and loom-making specifically. While we were in Vejen we attended a talk about Lervad by textile archeologist Kathrine Vestergaard Brandstrup, who was kind enough to give us an exclusive interview afterwards.
