Respected fiber artist Susan Iverson shares a technique that allows weavers to create shaped and three-dimensional tapestries, on any kind of loom.

Designed for adventurous weavers of all skill levels who love a new challenge, this is the first book on the intriguing pulled warp technique. Used through the decades by a handful of weavers to create 3-D tapestries, and also to make flat tapestries that bend and curve, pulled warp helps weavers achieve exciting results. 

Susan Iverson, a professional weaver who has spent years researching and using this technique, is known for her skillful teaching style. This book offers: 
 
• Clear, easy-to-follow instructions enable weavers to use pulled warp innovations in their own work

• The technical and designing details that creative weavers want

• Beautiful examples woven by Susan Iverson demonstrate what pulled warp has to offer

• Several ways to use it: as an intensive workshop-like experience, an inspiration for weavers at any level, and a source of technical ideas to try

•  Personal insight from Susan on how the technique has had an impact on different phases of her weaving career

Recenzii

“Makes me want to carve out some time to sample and to explore . . . shares numerous tips, pitfalls, strategies . . . I especially love the section on ‘Deciding When to Use Pulled Warp (An Artist’s Journey)’ . . . This book balances the practical with the vision and creative thought . . . a must-have.”
"...a love letter to weaving...gives permission to beginner and experienced weavers to choose their own adventure."
"...will delight both new and experienced weavers, and anyone interested in contemporary textile arts...a valuable reference to add to all collection serving textile artists, designers, and historians."
"[Iverson] regularly advises the weaver to relax, to prepare thoroughly, to see the weaving as a process of discovery, to play. Her love and clarity show up in every sentence and tapestry. Her instructive style is clear and accessible...all in all, Iverson's book provides immense satisfaction."
"The subtitle of this book says so much to recommend it to anyone: "Inspiration, Technique, and the Creative Process". These are precisely the gifts that Susan Iverson lays out for the reader: she provides initial ideas, clear step by step instructions and opens the doors to what might go beyond the basics, with the simple question "What If" after providing the basics."
