Weaving, Spinning, and Dyeing Across the World

Colorful and sometimes complex textiles are still produced in many parts of the world using only the simplest tools and equipment.The Art of the Loomfocuses on eight areas of special interest--Navaho weaving in North America; bedouin textiles in the Middle East; West African narrow-strip weaving; Indonesian textiles; "kasuri" resist dyeing in Japan; inlay weaving in Nepal; brocaded motifs from Guatemala; and Peruvian tapestry weaving--and describes the fibers used, the methods of spinning and dyeing, the types of loom and the techniques of weaving. Examples of the best textiles from each area are supplemented with numerous photographs of spinners, weavers, and dyers at work, and diagrams showing how the various effects are achieved. As well as providing students and anthropologists with a valuable insight into working methods in a wide variety of traditional communities, this book and the exciting textiles it illustrates will be an endless source of ideas and ispiration for practising weavers.

Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh

Living in Morocco celebrates the arts of a country at the height of a cultural renaissance, a land where an ancient tradition of craftsmanship has been sustained and recently reinvigorated. Lavishly illustrated chapters on decorative and folk arts alternate with chapters on Moroccan life today.

We visit Chaouen in the Rif mountains, where the town's smooth, undulating surfaces are painted a bone-chilling blue-tinted white. We take in the shady blue-and-pink world of the Majorelle Gardens, and explore the stories behind the famous hotel La Mamounia. Most importantly, we see Morocco's arts brought to life in its homes - from former harems to traditional Hispano-Moorish houses.

A host of glorious photographs make this a book to relish, and the detailed documentation of Morocco's houses, arts and crafts make it an invaluable resource for anyone involved in interiors or design.

Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, Laos, Philippines

A sensitive and personal portrayal featuring 889 pictures of ten tribes from Thailand, Laos, Burma, Vietnam and the Philippines. This original and innovative book embodies traditions that have evolved over thousands of years and which are slowly vanishing. A lavish production and an invaluable historical record that combines anthropology and popular culture. "I chose to dedicate these pictures and stories to the tribes people themselves, in the hope that their way of life and works of art can be preserved through the protection afforded through public recognition. I offer this book as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, recognizing in the lives of these tribes that essential strength resides, and the endurance of their culture is insured."--David Howard, in the Dedication

Published in 1941, a nice book for the collector. It’s a rather solid copy and despite its wear, the pages are quite nice with many photos on crisp, glossy pages. There is occasional spotting on pages in the main text, unlike the heavy spotting I showed in the photos. The heavy spotting is on the first and last four pages. #antiques #collectibles #nonfiction #hardcover #vintage #furniture #china #glass #clocks #textiles (Shelf 2F) (SW4)

Beautifully illustrated with text in English and Japanese, this is the catalog of an exhibition of Hawaiian quilts. See all photographs above.

Tradition and Transition

Recognized the world over for their bright colors and bold graphic designs, Hawaiian applique quilts reflect the lush subtropical flora of the islands where they were born. The book provides an extensive overview of Hawaiian quilting from its beginning as an art form in the 1870s to the present day. The book includes twenty-two quilts created by three influential master quilters and thirty contemporary quilts by six highly respected modern quilters that reflect a new range in styles and techniques, from traditional to trend setting, being explored by island quilters today. This bilingual publication, English and Japanese, visually explores a vibrant and ongoing cultural treasure of Hawai'i. These quilts demonstrate both the rich tradition of this textile art and its continuing strength in the realm of contemporary art.
