'I have only one problem with this fascinating book - it had to
end! I felt so well acquainted with the weavers and the authors and
the techniques that it seemed like the story should go on forever.
Loving, honest, illuminating documentation is how I would
characterise the text, augmented by Joe Coca's superb photography.'
Janet De Boer, editor of Australia's Textile Fibre Forum magazine
for 30 years. What began as a couple's backpacking adventure
transformed into a thriving fairtrade business and a renewed sense
of well-being. Over the past decade, Joshua Hirschstein and Maren
Beck have developed deep connections with the villagers of Xam Tai
who raise their own fibre from silkworms, create their own natural
dyes, and weave the patterns of their ancestors into healing
cloths, ceremonial textiles and daily wear. Their narrative
provides an in-depth and rare view into the everyday lives,
culture, and craft of Lao silk weavers. Engaging personal stories
and intimate photography bring it all into focus: the patience and
skill of artisans, the steady pace of village life, and a
commitment to honouring the old ways.
