In the forms of pattern and fibre, cloth can express a community's identity and history. Led by Daniel Harris, leader of the anticraft, the London Cloth Company has begun weaving the next chapters of its journey, and has relocated from the bustling city to the rolling hills of West Wales to continue creating exceptional cloth.
The looms Daniel works with date from 1870 to 1974, including a colossal three-tonne machine he personally took apart, moved 700 miles, and reassembled. His passion for these machines is not just about nostalgia; it's about teaching others the art of textile production and preserving a vital part of British history.
Whether Daniel is restoring looms for textile mills in Mallorca, crafting 'space cloth' for M.I.T, or weaving fabric for Nike trainers, his journey is constantly evolving. He remains committed to traditional weaving methods, showcasing traditional artistry in every woven cloth.
