Card Trick: The Magic of Tablet Weaving

65 minute documentary video program by Marilyn Romatka. Weave with nothing but a deck of cards? Can it be true? Yes! Card Weaving (aka Tablet Weaving) is a very old technique, first seen in the Iron Age and also flourishing in the Middle Ages. It is currently being re-discovered and re-invented. This program highlights the unique structure of the cloth, its design possibilities, its ethnic examples, and how to distinguish true tablet woven bands from lookalikes. Demonstrations and hands-on warps round out the program. http://www.taprootfolkarts.com/
