by Deborah Jarchow (Author), Gwen W. Steege This book is such a treasure trove of 320 pages of well-laid out instructions and lovely projects, it is like several books in one. This book could see one through from beginner to advanced weaving projects. Weaving is a highly accessible craft — over, under is the basic technique — but the stumbling block for many would-be weavers has been the high cost of a commercial loom. The Weaving Explorer removes that barrier, inviting crafters and artists to try out an amazing range of techniques and creative projects that are achievable with a simple homemade loom, or no loom at all! Weavers Deborah Jarchow and Gwen W. Steege take inspiration from the world of folk weaving traditions, adding a contemporary spin by introducing an unexpected range of materials and home dec projects. From sturdy rag fabric grocery bags to freeform wire baskets, delicately woven thread bracelets to colorful woven rugs, crafters will delight in exploring the opportunities to make their own personal variations on these beautiful — and functional — creations. Hardcover, 320 pages. 8 x 10 inches. Storey Publishing. Printed in China. Show more
