An essay from the Master Weaver newsletter (Fulford, Quebec) on what creativity means in handweaving. It argues that weavers cannot compete with industry on technical innovation and should focus on colour, texture and pattern, and that a good designer must know the materials and techniques of weaving. It discusses folk-art traditions, the limits of formulas for colour and design (Leonardo, Van Gogh, Oswald), and 'accidentalism' such as turning words or music into drafts. A short 1844 quotation from Clinton G. Gilroy closes the piece, and the author promises practical examples in the next issue.
