Understand the textural potential in weaving and explore the many techniques that can create three-dimensional surfaces Creative Dimensions in Weaving explains many techniques weavers can use to incorporate visual and physical depth in their woven fabric. It first looks at many familiar weave structures and transforms them into dimensional surfaces, before exploring the sculptural potential in multi-layer weaves. Aimed at weavers of all abilities, it introduces the principles and topics clearly for the novice, but provides advanced ideas and challenges for those with more experience. Richly illustrated, this thorough book encourages and inspires all weavers with four or more shafts to experiment and to understand the possibilities of adapting techniques to make ever more creative and unique work.
Discusses materials, setts and finishing processes, and shows how different effects can be created by simple adjustments
Explains a variety of different weaving techniques including overshot, stitched double cloth, seersucker, woven shibori, double cloth, four-colour double weave, waffle and pleating
Explores woven sculpture through multi-layer weaves, tubular weaving, adapting techniques from tapestry and adding inclusions
Includes over 500 illustrations, which support the instruction with drafts, samples and inspiring examples.
The textural surface of cloth is often overlooked. Touching fabrics from birth, most people have an instinct for texture but would not necessarily know how to create tactile surfaces in cloth.
Creative Dimensions in Weaving opens the door to various techniques that ally materials with weave structures so that many different three-dimensional surfaces can be made. Some are subtle, some more extreme but all are aimed at moving the fabric beyond the _at plane. The book shows methods, explains the reasoning behind decision-making, and gives many options for the reader to explore and incorporate in their weaving vocabulary, with examples of drafts, cloth and inspirational work from many weavers. For weavers with four shafts and more, the book offers possibilities for any level of expertise, with a particular focus for eight-shaft looms. Single cloth, double cloth with several adaptations, and multiple layers are included.
