Slater Mill

A video of our guide at Slater Mill explaining how carding combswere used to line up cotton fibres - a natural cellulose fibre very similar to the fibres I am working with. This was an exciting demonstration for me because I learned about the known techniques for carding in contrast to my self-guided experiments in the model shop with re-appropriated tools.
