Lucille Crighton

Description

In 2006 Lucille Crighton was inducted into the One of a Kind Show, Hall of Fame. Lucille Crighton creates intricately woven, one-of-a-kind, handwoven jackets, vests and scarves for a private clientele, select craft shows and galleries. "I find inspiration everywhere...in nature, art, architecture, cultural and modern textiles. My work reflects my love of colour and design." For the 16-shaft warp faced fabrics the colours & textures are designed on a cardboard reeling. The patterns for these fabrics are designed using the computer. Then the yarn is wound onto the loom and threaded, ready for weaving. The weft-faced fabric is designed on a 4-shaft loom, balancing colour, value, and texture while weaving and using up to 30 different yarns in one jacket. Jacket prices range from $750 to $1200 Canadian.
