Ann Sutton's The Structure of Weaving is widely regarded as essential in any weaver's library, and it has been adopted as the first and second year textbooks in colleges throughout Britain, the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and Scandinavia. Now, with Diane Sheehan, she goes beyond the knowledge and manipulation of structure to help weavers produce cloth that is exciting as well as technically correct. By examining some of the great textile ideas of the past and relating them to the stages of making a woven cloth, the authors aim to give confidence to all weavers, at whatever level of attainment, to have the ideas that will make the cloth of today as exciting and glorious as the fabrics of the past. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I hope that the quote will give you reason to look at this book and all that it offers. This isn’t a recipe book (you probably already realized this). It is a book of ideas and possibilities. It also is not a new book, so some of the references to weaving technology aren’t current.
Some of the highlights in this book that captured my attention are examples of double weaves, collapse fabrics, ancient and ethnic textile techniques, use of paper wefts, ondulé reeds and much more. Throughout, there is emphasis on using a variety of techniques, materials and color
combinations to think about “what happens if I .....”. ( )
