Recordist's notes
This is a recording of Wendy Morris of the Handweaver's Studio, London, weaving on her loom. Unfortunately the recording was actually made in her home and not the noisy environment of the Handweaver's Studio and Gallery, but I don't know her exact address and so have located the sound to the studio and gallery since she is the custodian there. If there were no customers in the shop, the rhythm of her weaving would ostensibly sound very similar... at least this way you can get an idea of the sounds of Wendy Morris weaving on a floor loom!
