Weaving: Structure and Substance looks at weave design from several
different perspectives, showing how resources, ideas and practical
experience can come together in a creative process of designing through
making. Emphasizing the potential of woven textiles throughout, Ann
Richards follows the success of her sister title Weaving Textiles that
Shape Themselves and explores the tactile properties that emerge from
the interaction of material and structure. The book is organized into
four parts that look at the natural world as inspiration, the design
resources of material and weave structure, the fabric qualities as
starting points for design, and the practical issues of designing
through making. With over 280 lavish photos, this book will be an
invaluable resource for textile designers and enthusiasts looking for
inspiration and practical advice.
