Kirsten Glasbrook demonstrates the ancient art of tapestry weaving using
wool yarn, fine linen and cotton on simple rectangular frames with
notches, or purpose-built looms for larger tapestries. She shows step by
step how to weave gorgeous tapestries, from choosing colours and winding
warps through to creating images and finishing off with tassels and
beads. Readers will learn how to create horizontal and diagonal lines,
curves, motifs, shading, outlines, borders and more. There is a gallery
of beautiful finished works to inspire everyone from beginners to
experienced weavers. This best-selling title has been re-issued to
inspire a whole new generation.
