Texlab Project
Tests and prototypes woven on a TC2 Jacquard loom at Texlab Liège
1:1 workshop use guided by Marie Beguin
funded by Wallonie Design.
In the first half of 2025 I was lucky to be accepted for an “accompagnement” at Texlab Liège, a workshop with facilities for weaving, felting, knitting, embroidery, tufting and pattern creation. It is accessible on application for designers to test and prototype new experiments and products, with two and a half days’ one-to-one guided workshop use publicly funded via Wallonie Design.
I applied with the view to try my stamp designs in a textile context. Having already experimented with block printing textiles, I was also curious to see how weaving the designs could change their visual impact and tactility, and inspire new applications such as home furnishings or clothing as well as large-scale tapestries.
Thank you very much to weaving expert Marie Beguin for her great advice, help and suggestions, and thanks to everyone at Texlab for welcoming me. I’m very eager to continue exploring this field, giving my characters and figures a new dimension.
