Mastercrafts part 5 of 6 - Weaving

[@JustinDOehlke]

I loved this to the upteenth degree! Holly is such a treasure! I'll not forget this soon -- if ever. My heart strings are just resonating with joy. Thank you.

[@phantomkate6]

I think it's super cool that Treff was so open about his bipolar disorder. Just goes to show you what people can accomplish despite struggling in life! I hope he kept up with it. His final piece was beautiful.

[@jacquelinehitchen5180]

I would love to see a follow up programme on where the enthusiasts are now and whether they made successful careers out of their chosen crafts.

[@offthewalla4717]

I laughed and I cried along with them. This is a wonderful documentary on weaving and I wish all 3 of them well in their weaving future. Bravo!

[@larenro2310]

If you want to learn to weave by yourself get a very simple loom. A rigid heddle loom is a very simple but good loom. There are plenty of online tutorials. :)

[@fallenpatriot7917]

Great program. Holly is so cute I just want to give her I big hug when she cries.

[@Anita-yy2dd]

Je découvre cette série , ce soir . J'aime vraiment beaucoup , très stimulant et encourageant ! et tellement Humain dans la Lumière des Arts où chacun s'exprime , progresse et excèle ! Merci à Tous pour nous faire partager votre cheminement ! Cordialement .

[@bonniebuchanan985]

This was absolutely FABULOUS! Thank you for filming this program, and in particular, this Master Craft series on weaving. Recently, I bought a little $5 frame loom that came with no instructions, so I decided to watch a few KZbin videos to learn "How To", This video is far above a basic lesson and completely blew me away (in a good way!) BRAVO!, to all three participants!! I'm curious about the status of each, and if any or all, are still currently weaving. I agree w/other comments, M's colors are bold & really wonderful. H's work is also beautiful & I think when she is ready to be a bit more bold & radical her work then it will be stunning! And T's work is equally interesting, refreshing, and when inspired (like from his trip), vibrant & fabulous! Also, he deserves Kudos for combining an ancient craft with 20th Century technology! Someone created that program, because they recognized a "need" for it, and that program meets it. The most Highly Successful people will all tell you, there is no need to reinvent the wheel, plus you will get further down the road by using every tool at your disposal, and if you don't the other guy will, and then, he'll get there before you, cheaper than you, etc. Thanks all around to everyone that created & participated in this film, it was truly inspirational & gives one a deep reverence for the history, foundations, skill, and dedication involved in the Weaving & Textiles Craft!

[@marinamartinez6886]

Excellent challenge. I'm a newer weaver (4 - 5 years) whose always been interested in fabrics. 👍👍👍

[@kathrynfayrowland]

Just simply WOWs me! So very blessed people to have the opportunity to do such a thing! Very happy for them.. Thanks so very much for making this video would love to see more😄

[@Tina06019]

The TV program highlighted Montaz’ shortcomings, but I must say I found her mid program design fabric very attractive (two dropped threads notwithstanding). Holly’s jacket is very impressive. Holly’s final project, the double-sided cloth is the most beautiful, in my opinion. At least, I would rather wear her cloth than Treff’s cloth. But Treff’s piece is wonderful, too.

[@kathipecor37]

I loved this program. The students are all so talented. I especially liked Montaz and understand the struggles she was going through. I wonder if there is any way to introduce her to SAORI weaving. It is a form of free weaving with mistakes allowed and totally works for the more creative types. If there is a way to pass this information on to her I think she would find her weaving happiness there.

[@jeetenzhurlollz8387]

Kathi Pecor you are such a nice person ..

[@terridrimel1056]

I had the same thoughts. Saori! This was really enjoyable. It would be lovely to see a follow up on these creative people!

[@phantomkate6]

Don't you still have to know how to set up a loom with Saori weaving? Lol

[@petawatson5120]

@@phantomkate6 Yes, but its alot simpler (generally) than setting up an 8 shaft loom like they are here.

[@melanie-kimbarker2470]

Thank you. This has inspired me to get back into my weaving. Love doing it

[@artistpw]

Montez had the best color sense of all three of the students. Loved her cloth, and I truly hope she continues her progression.

[@cihanmirza9113]

Was the competition about the colour sense or about weaving???

[@freshwaterwi]

She came to the class with her color sense. But she did not excell in the skill she came to learn. As soon as I heard her talk about breezing on and not fixing errors in her knitting I knew she'd have trouble with weaving. Errors in knitting can usually be repaired afterwards....that's not true about threading a loom....at least not without a lot of time and swearing.

[@barbararickman8543]

Montez is a Saori weaver. She just does not know it yet.

[@JenniGormley1]

Barbara Rickman that’s what I was thinking.

[@4hubby971]

What an amazing story!

[@scorpioninpink]

The reason why Montaz is the weakest is because she is used on not fixing the mistakes on her other crafts. Weaving is a very technical craft.

[@reogrande8020]

So she is slack and lazy

[@Mossyz.]

I love this series....very lovely to watch....and i would love to have a go ..but WEAVING lol...this would drive me nuts ..i would end up tieing myself into a knot :)

[@melaniewillard4795]

I'm watching this and rubbing my forehead In anxiety by just watching! !!! I can't watch this as much as i would love to! !!!!

[@bettieshea278]

It just takes time. For me, so far it has been two years, and I am still at the beginning. Becoming a weaver is a commitment, like Margo says. It is also a decision. You DECIDE you're going to learn this skill.

[@jerrystauffer2351]

After watching several of these I noticed 1 common theme: these people have lived their lives without feeling they have accomplished anything. How many feel that way?

[@sibalogh]

"How many feel that way?" Well, all the fools /idiots have it all as they have never achieved anything, they're the ones with all the confidence without accomplishing anything...

[@TheQwuilleran]

I understand that it's a copyrighted name, so I really hope Margot spoke to Montaz off camera about the free-weaving style of Saori. Weaving is about precision, but the Japanese Saori technique let's you "drop a stitch" and praises you for the humanness of the mistake.

[@weRbananas]

I thought no the reason Holly's coat didn't sell was because it was something you'd see at a fashion show, but no one would actually wear it. It's very very nice though.

[@dawnklug6986]

Weaving and set up is way easier than this show makes it out to be. T am self taught using first observation, then doing and finally a book. I can say that Treff is a natural and that's why it was easy on him and myself.

[@professionalpainthuffer]

Honestly. It looks much crazier than it is, but really it boils down to tying warp on one end, threading it through a needle, and tying it on the other end. It's the most important step and it's intimidating, but it isn't hard.

[@juliemulie1805]

Agree. Way to turn people off weaving! There are people who are more naturally detail oriented and have a process mindset. Process or tedious, makes you a weaver or not.

[@jeanetteharris7000]

I am a farmer,spinner,weaver,and fiber artist. I am like Montaz. I do not seek perfection. I think the "flaws" in my works identify them as human craft. I don't really care if someone buys my stuff.i create for the sake of creating.

[@WillN2Go1]

Look at these amazing Henry VIII tapestries..... at 480dpi.... Time to rescan,

[@PrestonDanger]

13:56 depress and the beat it?! I never knew weaving was so brutal! :O

[@juliajs1752]

"You can't just get a book and teach yourself weaving". Yes, you can. Handcrafts have come a long way towards being accepted again in the past 10 years. Go get the book, or even better, check online and see if there's a Spinners' and Weavers' Guild in your area. Go there, get connected, learn what you want and enjoy.

[@ramairgto72]

Anyone knows the end credits music?

[@Norfolk250]

I’m in-between the idea of faults in weave - I am seeing both sides of the issue here, though I agree those faults for THIS show and stage of learning, should be rectified. Afterwards, the faults can reign supreme.

[@weRbananas]

Did they dye those tapestries afterward or was the color dyed into the thread before it was woven?

[@qhsperson]

+sananabRew The color is in the thread.

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

The color is dyed into the thread, then it is woven into the fabric. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapestry Google Search is your friend.

[@cihanmirza9113]

The final project: "You will be asked make a 3 metre lengt of fabric." … … … And the winner is the one with 2 meters! How Holly Berry accepted the result so gracefully is remarkable. (I only wish she did not look like Victoria Beckham}

[@gmaureen]

I understand your comments, but the winner's pattern was exceptional....difficult, beautiful and unusual. It would be unfair not to recognize his talent.

[@SLOPPEWALL]

Yes, she did get robbed.

[@earthwizz]

Nemonic:- The warp goes warp and down and the weft goes from weft to wight.

[@phantomkate6]

Thank you! I could never remember which was which and I love mnemonic devices, so you just made me 2x happy! 😁

[@TomatoFettuccini]

I was fairly annoyed at Montaz throughout the show. As talented as she is, she seemed most apt at blaming the others for her own shortcomings. Right here, 31:21, she complains about him using software to make the process of design quicker after he's already got the fundamentals down pat, while she's still struggling with them. And she even says as much! Just really annoying. 35:37 And here, too. Justifying her lack of care, forethought, and expertise in such a manner, essentially saying that non-weavers aren't worth the effort of getting the one job you had to do, the very thing you're calling yourself, right. She's repulsive in how she justifies her lack of ability and whining about her own iniquities.

[@cheriesmith5140]

Tomato Fettuccini agree. Sad really, because she is shorting herself.

[@fakiirification]

Yeah... guess the UK has the mentally defective millennials too. She will keep blaming other people for her own failures throughout her life. probably get into politics and obtain office via the votes of other worthless people who think just like her then make laws that hurt people like the other two in this video, who actually care about doing a good job, and know how to improve themselves.

[@phantomkate6]

I think (ok, I hope) that most people outgrow this. It clearly takes some longer than others. She clearly has some artistic talent so I hope she does. But you're right, super annoying!

[@janemorrow6672]

The editing was pretty hard on her I must say.

[@freshwaterwi]

@@fakiirification Your connecting this all to politics is replusive. You're more like Montaz than you realize....you both need to sort out your priorites. Hope you soon find yourself on a televised 6 week intensive course in something totally out of your comfort zone and then show us all how it ought to be done.

[@juliemulie1805]

Wish this was more about weaving than personal drama. Reality show emphasis ruins what could be an excellent show. Skipped through much of it. Tapestries of the nobility should have been a separate program as this was not being taught as the craft. The UK has historic fabric mills which would have been more appropriate to this show.

[@paulohara8750]

bit dissapointed they never mentiond harris tweed,but all six programs were realy good.

[@cheriesmith5140]

where is this woman?! I have to meet her!

[@susananderson1071]

Beautiful work. My thing is if you did not finish a task, you are eliminated. I see talent in all 3.

[@cheriesmith5140]

Susan Anderson all is not lost whether recognized or not they are making their legacy - a peice of how they see the world. I agree all beautiful and fascinating

[@fallenpatriot7917]

I agree. Holly should have won.

[@metalguyn]

He has a disease. And he did his in one day! Depression is debilitating. Can't fault a guy for that.

[@scorpioninpink]

@@metalguyn Doesn't matter. A client doesn't care whether you have a disease or not.

[@scorpioninpink]

This is so complicated. I tried doing tapestry before. I love the art but for the life of me it is just too hard.

[@thehussarsjacobitess85]

33:20 that's what I was thinking! How could she bear to cut through that? :D

[@ismellcinnamonrolls3]

holly looks so broken when she loses, makes me sad to see

[@catzkeet4860]

The really irritating thing about Mumtaz isn't that she isn't a perfectionist. All crafters learn the adage that "perfect is the enemy of done" I GET not being broken by a mistake, but I think she takes it too far. It's gone from "I won't let a mistake break things" to "mistakes don't matter".....but they CAN, and until you're well enough grounded in the craft, you don't KNOW if it's important. She fails to respect the process. She rails against "perfection" yet is happy to try to sell sub par product? That's a "hobbyist" not a craftsperson. It's very arrogant, however she chooses to dress it up.

[@cheriesmith5140]

not cheating!! it's a tool. Go!

[@patrickthompson2477]

Agree, it probably helped him learn the craft a lot better, too.

[@exnihilonihilfit6316]

The woman was being ridiculous with this "cheating" shit. This was an unmistakable sign that it was about the competition between them and not about the mastering the craft itself and simply getting to where you can produce a better and better PRODUCT. She's irritated (and envious) of others who do something which allows them to get ahead of her. Classic. Carol Dweck calls this "the fixed mindset" (vs. "the growth mindset") in her wonderful book "Mindset". That's a future communist/socialist in the making right there. aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/envy-hatred_of_the_good_for_being_the_good.html

[@cheriesmith5140]

exactly ;) price points people!

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

As the presenter stated, this is the most complicated of all the craft skills, so why did they pick the 3 worst candidates for this episode? They all have mental, emotional and/or personality baggage that is detrimental to learning and developing the skill set needed.

[@ddmagee57]

Did you even watch this, Old Man? Two of the three were naturals.

[@dresden]

Montaz SUCKS!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
