The Python x Weave project
is a collaborative undertaking between a textile practitioner and an interaction designer. Its aim is to produce visualisations of three-dimensional woven structures based on the investigations undertaken as part of the F r e e W e a v e r platform.
This partnership emerged from our mutual interest in digital exploration of analogue tradition of weaving. It has been rooted in the tacit knowledge of both practitioners – on the one hand, Sylwia’s textile design and hand making experience, and, on the other hand, Diarmuid’s programming and interactive software skills.

Python x Weave merges differing approaches to creative projects, thus, working in conjunction with the notion of hybrid practice.
The physical and computerised processes feed into each other and have the potential to inform further developments in either discipline. More notably, they lead to the establishment of new, integrated ways of practising craft and design.
