Creative Dimensions in Weaving

A Handweaver's Guide to 3D Texture

Stacey Harvey-Brown

Description

Creative Dimensions in Weaving explains many techniques weavers can use to incorporate visual and physical depth in their woven fabric. It first looks at many familiar weave structures and transforms them into dimensional surfaces, before exploring the sculptural potential in multi-layer weaves. Richly illustrated, this thorough book encourages and inspires all weavers with four or more shafts to experiment and to understand the possibilities of adapting techniques to make ever more creative and unique work. The book:

  • Discusses materials, setts and finishing processes, and shows how different effects can be created by simple adjustments
  • Explains a variety of different weaving techniques including overshot, stitched double cloth, seersucker, woven shibori, double cloth, four-colour double weave, waffle and pleating
  • Explores woven sculpture through multi-layer weaves, tubular weaving, adapting techniques from tapestry and adding inclusions
  • Includes over 500 illustrations, which support the instruction with drafts, samples and inspiring examples
