The Weaving Explorer

Ingenious Techniques, Accessible Tools and Creative Projects

Deborah Jarchow & Gwen Steege

Description

The Weaving Explorer features a wide variety of techniques, weave structures and weaving materials from paper, ribbon, fabric strip, and yarns to wire, plastic, stones and wood.

Many of the 30 featured projects combine traditional methods with non-traditional materials to create woven items inspired by a classic approach but updated with a contemporary look. Some projects require no loom at all, while others use a basic frame to hold the threads together, and still others are woven around an object, such as a stone, branch or ring, that remains part of the completed item.

Examples of beautiful finished pieces showcase each technique and will inspire readers to imagine their own creative weaving possibilities.
