A collection of thirty-five artists from around the globe who work with yarn and thread to make unconventional and creative objects. From artists knitting giant sweaters to those creating rooms bursting with imagined sea creatures, artist, curator, and writer Sophia Cai brings together some of today's most creative textile practices in a celebration of contemporary exploration and play. Broken down into three chapters--Weaving, Crochet, and Knitting--this book dips into the history of these art forms and the creative ways they're currently being expanded. An accessible entry point into the world of textile-based art, Loop, Hook, Loom features both working artists and hobbyists, highlighting the endless possibilities and worth of fiber art.
