A boxed set containing Every Thread a Story and The Secret Language
of Miao Embroidery, this culmination highlights artists and
textiles from the Guizhou Province of China. Every Thread a Story
is a tribute to ethnic minority artisans of China's Guizhou
Province. It is also a tribute to the heritage craft traditions and
techniques passed down through the generations of their families.
The book introduces more than a dozen contemporary artists from
four ethnic groups working in the techniques of their ancestors,
including indigo dyers, embroiderers of varying techniques,
weavers, a metalsmith, and a paper maker. A wide-ranging look to
the future questions the effects of tourism and modern development
on the craft and culture of southeast Guizhou Province. The Secret
Language of Miao Embroidery presents, for the first-time, expert
interpretations of the Miao symbols and motifs embellished on
traditional clothing of the Miao peoples of China. Using examples
from pieces in a museum's collection, the author provides clear
descriptions and stories for 60 symbols and motifs found in highly
collectible Miao textiles, focusing on southeast Guizhou Province.
Detailed colour photographs accompany each motif. Both are
paperback books: Every Thread a Story contains 160 pages and The
Secret Language of Miao Embroidery contains 64 pages.
