Our fascinating guided tour will lead you to discover late nineteenth-century looms, telling you about the history and art of weaving. The tour will begin with the viewing of an ancient warping machine and explanation of the entire warping process by an expert guide. You will have the opportunity to explore the details of this ancient craft up close, as our expert guide takes you through every step of the textile process. You will discover not only the functioning of the looms, the use of Jacquard cards and wooden shuttles, but also the history behind each technique and tool used. We will delve into every aspect of weaving, from the choice of yarn to the finished fabric. One of our guides will accompany your hands in the creation of a spool that you yourself will insert into the ancient loom, magically starting the weave of the fabric. An engaging and informative experience that will give you a new perspective on textile craftsmanship.
