Geometric Design in Weaving

Weavers of any level will be enriched as this world-famous weaver combines the study and practice of graphic design with the exploration and execution of weaving techniques. Part I presents design information and the art and science of classical proportions. Part II presents a wide variety of weaver-controlled techniques by which geometric designs can be transformed into textiles of interest and beauty. Part III shows many loom-controlled techniques for the four and multi-harness loom. All chapters include clear photographs, diagrams and weavers' drafts with precise explanations and directions.[AuthorName]Else Regensteiner[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Else Regensteiner was an award-winning artist-weaver whose work is in the collections of many museums.
