Intended to provide a complete and permanent record of surviving traditions and skills in textiles and crafts, the Ends of the Earth unique series show the processes in full, in detail and with all the clarity and colour made possible by modern video cameras. In many ways they are better than being there - pausing and replaying gives the possibility of checking again where the quickness of the hands has eluded or deceived the eye. Feltmaking is one of the oldest textile traditions. In Anatolia felt is still produced for the making of sikkes and kepeneks, saddlecloths, rugs and hangings. This ancient process uses the natural properties of raw wool to produce material with unique attractions and characteristics. Filmed in Konya,Turkey. Contents: Felting and patterning traditional design carpets, kepeneks (shepherd's cloaks) and the traditional tall dervish hats - sikke.
