Images documenting the programs, history, and community of SEN Heritage Looms:
The SEN Heritage Looms is the oldest handweaving community of the nineteenth century that still survives in Greece, almost in its original form. It was founded in 1872 by a women’s society in Athens, as an effort to educate and train young girls, a radical undertaking by that time. A rich collection of unique, handwoven textiles have decorated the Hellenic Palace, the House of Parliament, the Cathedral of Athens and was often awarded in world exhibitions. Following a recent innovation of the historical buildings, the SEN Heritage Looms is now open to the public and to educational visits with classes in historic weaving, spinning, dyeing, felting, fiber arts, and various experimental archaeology projects. The SEN Heritage Looms is now conducted by the textile expert Sophia Tsourinaki, whose special area of study is the archaeology of textile production, with a focus on combining theoretical analysis with practical knowledge garnered from handicraft processes.
