Last week's CEU Series course with the New York School of Interior Design was designed to help attendees learn the ins and outs of today's carpeting, from the methods and materials that go into the making of carpets to the mechanics of treatment and preservation.
Led by instructor Tim Sheridan of Stark Carpet, the course explored traditional and contemporary carpeting options to source and use in today’s ever-changing marketplace. Audience members wished the lecture wouldn't end!
"I really enjoyed hearing what Tim had to say and was sad to realize the hour had already passed when it had," said a CEU attendee. "I found it so fascinating to learn about the recycled materials now being used in the creation of carpets and how 'green' the practices can be."
Tim explored the many materials that now go into the making of carpets, showing the audience plant materials that are turned into fiber and used in the making of carpets.
"There are an unlimited number of plant materials that are being turned into fiber today and have been for many years," said Tim. "Among these, flax, rush, sisal, sea grass, and Arabica are just a few. Because of the unlimited number of materials and means of construction, your design options are enormous and all the more enjoyable!"
