On Weaving (Dover Craft Books)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This handsomely illustrated volume will appeal to all readers with an interest in textiles. The author, a student and teacher at the Bauhaus school, was the first weaver to receive a solo exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art and among the primary forces in achieving recognition for weaving as an art form. Unlike a guide or how-to book, it approaches weaving from the craft's visual and structural aspects. Extensive coverage includes hand weaving, the loom, fundamental construction, draft notation, modified and composite weaves, early techniques of thread interlacing, interrelation of fiber and construction, tactile sensibility, tapestry, and design. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Wesleyan University Press, Middletown, Connecticut, 1965. 9 color plates. 112 black-and-white plates.
