The Oriental Rug and Textile Society are delighted to host Victoria Sluka’s presentation ‘One Knot at a Time: experiments in the small-scale analysis of knotted carpets.’ The talk will be held at the Caledonian Club in Belgravia on Wednesday, 20th May. The presentation will start at 18.30 and arrival is from 18.00.
Victoria Sluka recently completed her doctoral degree in archaeology at the University of Wisconsin. Her research focuses on the application of small-scale measurements, large sample sizes, and descriptive statistics in providing new insight into knotted carpet structure and manufacturing processes. She has collaborated with traditional handweavers in Central Asia to better understand the technological, social, and idiosyncratic pressures that affect carpet structures, with a long-term interest in understanding the technological evolution of knotted pile in the Bronze and Iron Ages.
