A small book that's made a huge impact on more than 50 years of weaving, and on weavers worldwide.
A small book that''s made a huge impact on more than 50 years of weaving, and on weavers worldwide.
Outstanding among textile artists, Theo Moorman (1907-1990) was a trailblazing pioneer who fought to make weaving an art form. A British weaver who taught extensively in the United States, she influenced the weaving craft in unparalleled new ways. (Among much else, Moorman "invented" the handwoven wall hanging we are so accustomed to today!)
Her classic book is the perfect way to enjoy for the first time, or anew, insights on what makes weaving extraordinary, from the design and aesthetic expression embodied in a woven fabric to the emotions it inspires.
She blends remarkable explanations with her more personal insights on the experience into this book. The technique of weaving that bears her name is detailed, with numerous ways the Moorman technique may be used, varied, and further explored.
Her experiences with commissioned works--the problems and opportunities they present--are one of the many ways this book, originally published in 1975, will speak to today''s weavers and allow them to learn from the insights Theo Moorman left to the world weaving community.
