Non-loom and loom-woven textiles, painted and printed, dyed, sewn, embroidered and embellished techniques are all covered, as well as the materials themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, a visual feast, 20 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This book is a must! Using amazing photographs, often showing the crafts people at work, it takes the reader through a visual feast of materials, non-loom taxtiles, loom woven textiles, dyes, sewn textiles, embridery and embellishment. There is generally a useful description of a technique on every page. There are wonderful pictures on each page - each and every one a source of inspiration.

There is a useful glossary, a worldwide further reading list and a list of textile collections.

It is a wonderful reference book, a must have for any textile person, beginner or experienced.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and informative, 29 Feb 2008
This review is from: World Textiles: A Visual Guide to Traditional Techniques (Paperback)
This book is perfect for anyone who loves textiles (obviously!). I generally buy textile books for the images which are fantastic in this case, but this book is also very informative. I definately prefer it to the smaller world textiles book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A delight!, 2 Oct 2009
By happy days (derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: World Textiles: A Visual Guide to Traditional Techniques (Paperback)
Such a useful resource for anyone interested in textiles (and interesting even for those who aren't). Well organised book - information is easily accessed. Clear and interesting background information. Scrumptuous pictures.
