The Psychedelic Twill
an original hand weaving technique …
… created by Peace Weaver one quiet, long winter in 1994 in a studio in Eugene Oregon. This is also the year she choose her ‘artist’ name as ‘Peace Weaver’. Since the age of 3, she loved playing with fibers, and weaving was her new fascination. After persistent studying and much trial and error, she found the right combination of color, pattern and structure to produce her signature textile technique, utilizing ancient weaving tools, now known as tablets or cards. Weaver combined these tools with design concepts inspired from sacred geometry and indigenous textiles, and some industry background as a professional colorist, too. Weaver took ‘the best of what was around’ and refined and developed a unique PRODUCTION WEAVING technique. A production technique is a craft that is cost-effective with time and materials, to bring products to market. The PSYCHEDELIC TWILL is fabric that is both beautiful and sellable. Peace Weaver is the author of the book defining the PSYCHEDELIC TWILL and she is enthusiastically excited to bring this cloth to life in her new studio, in Taylors Mill, just north of Greenville South Carolina.
THE PSYCHEDELIC TWILL is the first of its kind, using weaving “tablets”, or “card weaving”, tools. These ancient weaving tools were lost for hundreds of years, and recently re-discovered, it is a contribution to weaving, to develop this art and craft. The PSYCHEDELIC TWILL is a new weaving technique, and Peace Weaver is also the Worlds First PRODUCTION TABLET WEAVER!
The PSYCHEDELIC TWILL brings universal beauty into the world distinguished by its beautiful, fun, ever-changing patterns with sacred geometry and rainbow hues. No two pieces are alike, each as unique as the weaver. With every turn a new pattern is created. The artist, Peace Weaver, developed this from a need to find inner-peace. To practice this craft brings balance to the mind-body-spirit experience. Like any good meditation or flow activity, weaving is naturally healing to the post-industrial-worker, a right-livelyhood integration of mind and body, illuminating the sacred and timeless way of craft. To live in harmony within God’s Creation is the greatest reward.

THE PSYCHEDELIC TWILL
hand weaving technique.
book, exhibit, and lifestyle.
Fusing sacred geometry and a post-modern revival of ancient weaving techniques into mind-body-spirit-art.
Born in the Upstate of New York, Peace Weaver began making clothes at age 3. She learned along the way: knitting, sewing, beadwork, crochet, hand-spinning, tie-dye, batik, upcycling, basket making, bookmaking, and more. She studied Clothing Design and Textiles formally at Cornell University, and found her love of weaving and craft-as-lifestyle in Eugene, Oregon.
Developing her very own hand weaving technique, she combined tablet weaving tools and sacred geometry. Tablet Weaving, also called Card Weaving, was lost hundreds of years ago and recently re-discovered. Weaver is reviving this lost art with timeless beauty and mind-body peace.
