Textile art has been around for millennia. Making and decorating textiles is an ancient form of art. It is the process of creating textile using fibers gained from insects, plants, animals and synthetic materials. Textile pieces have been found dating back to prehistoric times. People back then developed textiles to warm themselves and protect surfaces, as well as for insulation.
Nowadays, the textile industry is one of the biggest in the world driving the fashion and design world. This technology has seen great development as well. Today we use clothes not only to warm ourselves but to show our identity, we decorate our homes with beautiful rugs, cover our windows and walls with fabric and more.
