During the summer term (MAR—JUL) 2024, I attended a course called ”Design Experiments with Wool” as a guest lecture at Pforzheim University of Design. Here, we investigated the potential of local wool as a resource in different fields, e.g., footwear, architecture, and art. During this project, I got to set up two looms with the wonderful textile designer Esther van Schuylenbergh. We learned about the whole process, from beginning to end, about her way of creating patterns and some history behind weaving.
