Researchers from the UP Diliman (UPD) College of Home Economics (CHE) have just finished a 3-day seminar on the use of a digital loom as part of a project to preserve and propagate existing traditional Cordilleran textiles, especially the weaving techniques that have been lost to time. A team of researchers from UPD and UP Baguio (UPB) underwent training from April 4 to 6 on using the Thread Controller 2 (TC2), a digital Jacquard loom from Digital Weaving Norway (DWN) that can virtually create any fabric.
