This full-color look at the patterns that Dr. William Bateman
developed and studied over 50 years ago will help intermediate to
advanced-level weavers think more innovatively about their craft.
With hundreds of color draft diagrams and photos of Bateman's
sample weaves, artists can experiment with his innovations on their
own looms. Bateman, a chemistry professor turned weaver, analyzed
traditional patterns and extended them in completely new
directions. The samples included are Dr. Bateman's originals, and
detail the yarns and setts he outlined in his documentation. The
drafts are organized into weave groups, ranging from those with
their origins in traditional structures like twill or overshot, to
the one-of-a-kind new weaves Bateman invented. After she completed
her monographs on the Bateman weaves, Virginia Harvey donated his
nearly 1,500 samples to the Seattle Weavers' Guild. His original
weaves, and the ways he manipulated more traditional weaves, form a
fascinating resource for today's weavers.
