At the weave silk workshop we had the opportunity to learn about the weaving process. When we were in the workshop our guide was able to show us the process of making elegant weaves that costed up to 9000 euros per meter. Further in, she told us that the only way to make such master pieces was to memorize the colors and weave patterns. She told us that there are not that many people left who know how to use these machines, with the number around 8000.. I enjoyed learning more about the punch card system. It's another example of how far we have come with technology but also proves that if the method isn't broken don't fix it.
