This glorious book is a modern guide to weaving, an ancient craft
that is reaching new heights of popularity, from acclaimed
contemporary weaver and textile artist Rachna Garodia. It contains
a wealth of practical advice and tons of inspiration for every
aspect of this endlessly adaptable craft, from gathering materials
to making and exhibiting ambitious woven masterpieces, bringing in
a wide selection of mixed media. Meditative and calming, a session
at the loom is a great way to relax, and create something beautiful
in the process. And you don't need expensive equipment: you can
start your weaving journey on a small wooden frame or even a piece
of cardboard, and it's now easy to book time on larger looms
outside the home. The book includes: * Setting up and using your
loom, from the simplest small frames to sophisticated table and
floor looms. * Design and planning: taking inspiration from the
natural world, sketching, photographing, making moodboards and
exploring colour. * Gathering materials: from natural straw, grass,
flowers, feathers, bark and seedpods to more traditional yarns and
threads and even paper and photographs. * Personalising your work
by incorporating well-loved old fabrics and precious sentimental
items. * Unusual techniques: weaving with photographs or directly
onto handmade paper, three-dimensional sculptural weaving, non-loom
techniques such as looping and netting. * Gorgeously illustrated
with work from the author and other artists from around the world,
this book is an engaging and beautiful introduction to weaving for
established textile artists or those coming to the craft for the
first time.
