The cultural body Branding Heritage (ΒH) as part of its actions for the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage implements the project The Weavers of Greece, a project that highlights the textile heritage of the place through the recording of weaving artisans, techniques, tools but also the connection of weavers with Greek and foreign designers.
Some time ago, 2 looms were donated to the organization with the aim of saving, preserving, recording and highlighting.
We sincerely thank the donors Anastasios Georgiadis and the journalist Hara Yiannopoulou for the donation of the upright loom (which is made in Asia Minor) and Denise Constantakopoulou for the donation of the horizontal loom that she sent us in pieces from Evia.
The looms were assembled with the valuable help of Eleni Koukoulaki, curator of the organization’s collection of textiles, who came from Crete especially for this purpose.
