The unusual structure of shadow weave creates works that shimmer
and glow with multifaceted dark-and-light color. How and why did
the legendary weavers Mary Meigs Atwater and Marian Powell develop
it? And how, exactly, does it work? Even better, how do you write
shadow weave drafts of your own design? This guide provides the
answers, with a focus on Marian Powell's method of weave drafting.
With master weaver Rebecca Winter, learn the history of the
intricacies of shadow weave and understand the weave structure and
how it functions as a color-and-weave effect. The book takes up
where the much-respected (and hard to find) 1976 classic by Marian
Powell, 1000 (+) Patterns in 4, 6, and 8 Harness Shadow Weaves,
leaves off, offering the translation and explanation that today's
handweavers have been waiting for. It includes valuable resources
that bring history and today's weavers together: the drafting
system developed by Mary Meigs Atwater, the drafting system
developed by Marian Powell, and how the the Powell method functions
within block theory. Expand your weaving with included drafts-the
five original drafts developed in 1942 by Mary Meigs Atwater, as
well as 10 original drafts developed by the author. Handweavers of
all levels, on eight or fewer shafts, can be confident this book
will provide everything they need to know to advance their skills
toward a clear understanding of shadow weave. Get ready to create
your shadow weave gems.
