Weaving ItemsLlooking for a New Home



Before I post these weaving items to Kiijii, I would like to offer students, past students, and those who subscribe to the newsletter the opportunity to purchase these rare items that don't often come up for sale second hand. I will wait until the September to post these items on Kiijii, giving everyone lots of time to decide if they want to make a purchase of a piece of equipment that requires a greater committment in terms of your investment. Rest assured, that when it comes time to re-sell these looms, that you will get what you paid for it, if not more....so it is money that you will recoup later on down the road.

I should also let you know that some of these looms are not immediately available as they still have projects that require completion, and will hopefully be available by around June 1 2016, and at the latest December 5 2016.  All these items are in the Toronto area.

Please contact me by email at linedufour.tapestry@gmail.com if you are interested.

Bamboo and mericerized cotton handwoven shawl

Off the loom recently, this handwoven shawl in mercerized cotton and bamboo. The circles are green on one side, black on the other creating a fascinating visual effect. The bamboo is very soft and produces a nice hand to the textile. I've been exploring this weave structure for the last several months and I am looking forward to more experimentation with it.

One of a Kind Show E flyer $3 off coupon

Compliments of
Line Dufour/tapestry line unlimited Booth W-07

This year promises to be a very exciting year at the One of a Kind Show in terms of the wide array of locally hand crafted scarves, shawls and capes as well as handwoven tapestries. As managing designer and artist, Line has formed the tapestry line collective which will continue the practice of tapestry line unlimited to create an eclectic mix of fashion accessories. Line returned recently from New Mexico where she attended a weaving conference and her work and teaching has been greatly inspired by it. A weaving studio will be set up in the middle of the One of a Kind show for you to get a bird's eyeview of what it is like to be a weaver. There will be scheduled demonstrations by myself and my students on a tapestry loom and a fabric weaving loom. This year one of Line's tapestries, Joy, was selected by the American Tapestry Alliance to be part of two group shows: The Elder Gallery at the Nebraska Weslayan University in conjunction with the Textile Society of America conference and will continue on to the American Textile History Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts from January 22 to May 1 2011.

Attached is an e-flyer to receive $3 off the price of admission if you order ON LINE at this link . If the link does not work , copy and paste it into your browser. Enter the promotion code shown on the flyer.
