This booklet is the catalog and notes to an exhibition of weavings by Hilma Berglund. The cover includes an illustration of a floor loom with all of the parts labeled. The catalog opens with an essay by Laurence Schmeckebier, Department of Fine Arts, University of Minnesota. The rest of the booklet lists and describes each work. The pieces are samples of a wide variety of weave structures.
Hilma Berglund printed this Christmas Card in black ink on red cardstock. A sheet of tinted vellum covers the angel imagery on the upper 2/3 of the card, causing the ink to appear green. Three angels and four pairs of wings are arranged in the form of a Christmas tree with a gold star applied at the top.
This is the page of printed instructions from the Minnesota Loom. These assembly instructions were packed with the Minnesota Loom, which was designed and distributed by Hilma Berglund.
Hilma Berglund created this card in 1955 on blue paper. It contains both text and a woven sample. The actual card is 34 x 5 cm and when folded fits into a handmade envelope which is 18 x 5.5 cm. The card is printed with purple ink on blue paper. The swatch warp is of multicolor linen and lurex threads, woven with lurex weft. The 2.5 x 2.5 cm swatch is plain weave.
