SCREEN PRINTING
Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer
ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a
blocking stencil. A blade is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh
apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the
substrate momentarily along a line of contact.
This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh
apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. One
color is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a
multicolored design.

HANDLOOM
The Loom is a symbol of cosmic creation and the structure upon which
individual destiny is woven.
Weaving is done by intersecting the longitudinal threads, the warp, i.e. “that
which is thrown across”, with the transverse threads, the weft, i.e. “that which
is woven”.
A handloom is a simple machine used for weaving. In a wooden verticalshaft
looms, the heddles are fixed in place in the shaft. The warp threads pass
alternately through a heddle, and through a space between the heddles (the
shed), so that raising the shaft raises half the threads (those passing through
the heddles), and lowering the shaft lowers the same threads — the threads
passing through the spaces between the heddles remain in place.

JACQUARD WEAVE
The Jacquard machine is a device fitted to a power loom that simplifies the
process of manufacturing textiles with such complex patterns as brocade,
damask and matelassé. The loom was controlled by a “chain of cards”;
a number of punched cards laced together into a continuous sequence.
Multiple rows of holes were punched on each card, with one complete card
corresponding to one row of the design.
The threading of a Jacquard loom is so labor-intensive that many looms are
threaded only once. Subsequent warps are then tied into the existing warp
with the help of a knotting robot which ties each new thread on individually.
Even for a small loom with only a few thousand warp ends the process of rethreading
can take days.
