Weaving as an Art Form: A Personal Statement

Description:

A small book that's made a huge impact on more than 50 years of weaving, and on weavers worldwide.

Outstanding among textile artists, Theo Moorman (1907-1990) was a trailblazing pioneer who fought to make weaving an art form. A British weaver who taught extensively in the United States, she influenced the weaving craft in unparalleled new ways. (Among much else, Moorman "invented" the handwoven wall hanging we are so accustomed to today!)

Her classic book is the perfect way to enjoy for the first time, or anew, insights on what makes weaving extraordinary, from the design and aesthetic expression embodied in a woven fabric to the emotions it inspires.

She blends remarkable explanations with her more personal insights on the experience into this book. The technique of weaving that bears her name is detailed, with numerous ways the Moorman technique may be used, varied, and further explored.

Her experiences with commissioned works--the problems and opportunities they present--are one of the many ways this book, originally published in 1975, will speak to today's weavers and allow them to learn from the insights Theo Moorman left to the world weaving community.

About the Author

Theo Moorman, MBE (1907-1990) was a dedicated artist weaver.

Great for Weavers

C.L. · 13 September 2009

I found this book fascinating!It was really interesting to me to read about the history of Theo Moorman's progression as an artist and a craftsman.The technique is probably beyond me at this point as I am a relatively new weaver, but I will try it when my skills are at a higher level.For other folks (like me) who have a rigid heddle loom as well as a four harness loom, there is an article in the Winter 2006 issue of Spin-Off which describes a somewhat similar technique which can be done on an rh loom.I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the interaction between art and craft and anyone who wants to learn techniques for creating images in weaving.

Work exercise illustrations only in B&W

Again, another art book that has no colour photos/illustrations accompanying the work exercises!

creating woven art forms!!!!

G.H. · 6 November 2016

Lots to learn in this book. I haven't read it but have gone through it. It's more about woven hangings and the creative process. I will sink my teeth in to this after I'm better at weaving on a loom.

Something to look forward to.
