Torben Weber @Museum.BL
The weaver demonstrates the various ribbon looms in the exhibition "Silk Ribbon. Capital, Art & Crisis" and shows how decorative ribbons are created with shuttle and silk threads. Weaving takes place on a shuttle loom controlled by a punch card (around 1900) and a needle loom (around 1970). A beating loom from 1764 is also on display.
