THE WORKSHOP

A tradition of making

Explore the loom through its working parts. Select one of the glowing markers or choose a guided camera view to study the maker’s tools.

RECONSTRUCTION NOTE The mechanism is technically interpreted from traditional handloom sources. Exact dimensions, decorative carvings, and this workshop are artistic reconstructions, not a replica of one dated artefact.

How to explore

A handloom translates pressure from two wooden foot treadles into a change of warp-thread shed. The shuttle crosses the opening; the reed drives the new weft into cloth.

01LOOKDrag / touch to rotate, scroll / pinch to zoom, right-drag to pan.
02WEAVEPress Space to weave once. Key A toggles an automatic cycle.
03OPERATEPress keys 1 or 2 to move the separate heddle frames by their treadles.
04DISCOVERSelect the + markers to reveal the materials and mechanisms, or change camera views.

Historical standard. This scene synthesises pre-industrial treadle-loom principles with later recorded Ukrainian handloom terminology. The surviving Ukrainian museum example cited in the notes is late nineteenth-century, not seventeenth. The room, proportions and ornamental textile patterns are interpretive. No historical flag or specific Cossack unit is represented.
