Recenzii

“Loads of inspiration.”
“Leverages experts at living history museums for the step-by-step instructions that make this book a great option for hobbyists looking to cover multiple techniques in one volume . . . Includ[es] a variety of processes to put these threads to use. Photos, diagrams, and clear instructions make this portion incredibly helpful for reenactors, fiber artists, and craftspeople who do not have access to the raw materials, but would like to try or demonstrate traditional cording, braiding, or band weaving ways . . . The suggestions for tools are sticks, playing cards, cardboard, and other household items, targeting a wider audience of casual readers and allowing people to try out these lost ways without a major investment . . . If you are interested in getting into fiber arts, this is a great book for exploring a wide variety of processes. The color photos and simple implementation options for nearly every process mentioned provides the reader with an easy starting point.”
“This fascinating history of textile crafts encourages people to try them out . . . Introductions to the techniques are followed by clear instructions with useful project ideas, supplemented by practical tips.”
“A highly recommended book for anyone interested in the material culture of textiles, and one that may become a standard work on historical textile techniques.”
"The volume is rich with historical anecdotes . . . and beautiful imagery . . . Fischer breathes new life into lost arts."
