Synopsis
"A comprehensive guide to weaving sheer and see-through areas for breathtaking new effects.
Transparency weaving is a practice that pairs an open weave structure of fine fibers with inlaid designs to create astonishing sheer effects in cloth. It stands at the intersection of tapestry and inlay, echoing the intentions of weaving pioneers like Frida Hansen and Theo Moorman to create sheer woven art.
This guide, the only current, comprehensive technique book on the subject, enables you to use transparency weaving for eye-catching effects in contemporary fiber art and tapestry.
Innovative weaver and instructor Rebecca Smith expertly teaches the basics, then encourages you on through higher-level skills.
Features:
- Details on the tools, loom types, and materials needed.
- The history of the technique, from the 1890s through the mid-20th century to today.
- Helpful insights from the approaches of six contemporary transparency weavers.
- More than 300 photos and diagrams that express the powerful effects of transparency.
- Step-by-step techniques for weaving pictorial, geometric, and abstract designs.
- Six beautiful projects for skill building; each focuses on one or two techniques, including imagery, inlay patterns, overlapping shapes, reverse imagery, color illusions, weft variations, and more.
- Instructions for best display methods to show off transparencies’ light and shadow effects.
