Ondulé Textiles
A comprehensive illustrated look at ondulé textiles, including instructions, design tips, and over 180 photos of the work of contemporary experts.
Weaving involves straight, parallel, and gridlike lines, but as author and master weaver and teacher Norma Smayda shows, ondulé—weaving with curving warp threads—offers new directions.
This is the first book on ondulé textiles, and includes clear information on every aspect, from instructions to design tips to a comprehensive history of the fan reed, the tool that makes ondulé possible. Smayda shares the details of her own learning experiences with numerous ondulé warps in a variety of fibers.
More than 180 color photos also feature stunningly beautiful work by five other contemporary and two twentieth-century weavers, plus intriguing historic Japanese textiles. Also included are sections on weft ondulé, designing a fan or hybrid reed, and the thought processes behind twenty-one of the featured projects, including drafts.
