Lily and Pit Weisgerber Works… Lily and Pit’s TC2 is brand new and they say they want to learn and test out various techniques. They have already woven photos of their daughters Vera and Michèle that were taken 40 years ago! They’ve also tried weaving towels (next page). The warp on the loom, is half black and half white, cotton 16/2, 12 threads per cm. The weft for the photos is wool 6/2, for the towels is linen 16/2.
About… Lily has been a weaver for more than 40 years, trained in Switzerland, Finland and Sweden. She gave weaving classes for adults and children in various institutions and now, after retiring age, gives classes in her workshop in Contern and supports the small weavers’ community in Luxembourg - selling looms, materials, providing guidance and offering a small sales platform for varied woven articles. Pit has been fascinated by Lily's craft and always helped setting up looms, organizing workshops and after retiring from his software-supporting job, joined in actively in the weaving process.
Pit says he always wanted to weave the photo of their daughter Vera with a hat and a towel. This was finally achieved and they’ve even shared the picture of the piece being held by Vera!
