Educational Environment

Hundreds of educational institutions around the world have discovered that AVL looms are exceptionally well-suited for the teaching of textiles. The Studio Dobby Loom was specially planned for use in education. Its exceptionally sturdy body and rugged construction have made it a favorite tool in both under-graduate and graduate programs.

The Workshop Dobby Loom (WDL) was built for use by weavers on the go; particularly those who attend conferences and want a fully functional computerized loom. Well-known as The California Traveler, the WDL is the perfect loom for the traveling weaver.

All AVL looms have been recognized by formal textile programs as having enough industry-like features to duly replicate power loom components, so AVLs are used extensively by some of the best programs in the world including North Carolina State University College of Textiles, Rhode Island School of Design, Philadelphia University, Fashion Institute of Design, the Royal College of Art, and now the Ann Sutton Foundation.
