BBC Learning English – London LifeTapestryJanuary 25, 2006PLEASE NOTE: This is not a precise transcription of thisprogrammeCallum: Hello I'm Callum Robertson and this is London Life.
  One of the departments of the University of London is SOASor, the School of Oriental and African Studies. Currentlythey are holding an exhibition from the Ramses Wissa ArtCentre in Egypt. The exhibition is of tapestries1 that werecreated by students of the centre.
  Our reporter Will went to the exhibition and joins me now.
  Will, tell me a bit more about the centre and theexhibition.
  Will: The Centre was established by Ramses Wissa whofirst started to encourage and teach chidren to weave inthe 1950s, however he didn't give them formal training ortell them what designs to create. Ramses died in 1974 but Ispoke to his daughter, Suzanne who told me about herfather's techniques.
  INSERT SUZANNEHe believed that every child has a lot of capacity andimagination and he has the force and power to create so hebelieved if he can teach a young child such a techniquelike weaving and he leave him completely free to his ownimagination to develop his own style because all theweavings you see around you they have never been pre-designed. They don't work from any sketch2. They really havean inspiration in their mind, the weavers3 I mean. And theysit to the loom4 with the wool, dye, with natural dyes, andthey just reflect their own natural ideaswith no pre-designing.
  Callum: So before creating the tapestries the studentsdon't make any sketches5 or drawings at all?
  Will: That's right – (reaction to that and descriptionof style of tapestries)Callum: Tell us more about the set up of the school andwhat kind of students there are.
  Will: (About the school)Callum: And can adults learn to weave as well or can peopleonly start when they are childrenWill: Well it's only children. I asked Suzanne why thatwas.
  SUZANNEAn adult will be able to weave, yes, but such spontaneousfeeling cannot really be faked – I mean an adult will beimpressed by all his education all what he already haveseen in life, in artwork and it will be very had to get ridof all these influences. This is why we start with theperson young because it becomes their own language. Andwhen we start with them we don't expose them to pattern ordrawing or pictures or colours. No, we give them thethreads and the loom and we tell them this is how they aregoing to express yourself. So they really develop their ownlanguage.
  Callum: So it's for children because they come to itwithout any influence or interference from their experienceof art and the world.
  Will: ExactlyCallum: Well that's all we have time for for now, join usagain for more London Life.
