Weaving with Wire: Creating Woven Metal Fabric

Weave with wire and fiber to produce metal fabric -- an entirely new art material that can be used for jewelry, sculpture, basketry, and more. Use a four- or eight-harness loom to weave an entirely new art material that you may never before have consideredmetal! By using a wire warp and fiber weft, intermediate- to advanced-level weavers can create a woven metal fabric that is strong, malleable, and sculptural. Expert weaver Christine K Miller has been weaving with wire for 30 years, and her online and in-person workshops are highly sought after. She's the only weaver teaching this amazing technique. Learn about: the materials and supplies needed for this metal fiber technique; planning your project; preparing and beaming the warp; and choosing the weft. Christine then takes readers step by step through a "Foundation Project", a basic woven wire fabric serving as the basis for creating their own metal fabric crafts. Readers can be inspired by Christine's work and what she has made with woven wire -- baskets, jewelry, sculptures, and more -- with detailed information on how she made them. They can then re-create these pieces or use them as a foundation to craft their own metal fabric creations. In addition, Christine includes a fascinating chapter on using the principles of art and design to let the reader's imagination soar when crafting with woven wire fabric.
