Tapestry Weaving (Search Press Classics)

a carefully crafted how-to and reference for all skills in Tapestry weaving and techniques. I Love this book. It is beautifully illustrated easy to follow instructions, tips and tricks. An easy read and a great read complete with photos to inspire. Came packaged well, with super-fast delivery. Wow Thank You Amazon, Thank You Vendor!

I have a fairly substantial library of books on weaving and textiles, and this is easily the best introduction I have encountered to tapestry weaving. The instructions are clear; techniques for a variety of special weaves for the beginner are introduced and easy to follow. The introductory pieces are reasonable for a beginner to complete-the tapestries are coarser weaves to lend themselves to teaching, while being attractive and fun to make. The photographs are excellent, and the samples of her work serve to inspire the reader to try bigger and more difficult projects. The author is an excellent designer and colorist, so much can be learned from her completed work. Highly recommended to anyone interested in understanding tapestry weaving or aching to give it a try.

This is an excellent book for the beginner, or the experienced. I love the color photos which help to delineate the weaving process. It gives me the confidence I need to start and finish a project. As a beginner I need to see where I am going, not history , though interesting ,or extremely advanced projects. There are beautiful photos of intermediate and advanced work for inspiration , but the projects and techniques are not out of reach. For me it hit the right note. I have done only a bit of weaving but want to do more without the intensity needed in other types of weaving that include more measurement. I also ordered a similar book titled Tapestry Weaving , by Nancy Harvey. It too, is a great book , but this one is more accessible for the novice.

Top Shelf Book - Pun intended! This is a very nicely put together book of quality. Great information to get started and continue with. Great gift to someone who loves weaving or fiber arts period. The seller was great, good wrap, good service.

I had checked this book out of the library before making the investment to add to my weaving library. Very inspiring book with great instructions.

I just received this book today. I honestly didn't think this book would be THIS AWESOME. But it is. The pictures inside are lovely. Very clear instructions are given about how to build a simple loom, costing very little using a picture frame. Now, how cool is that? And, the work inside the book is just lovely, very inspirational and will appeal to people with a variety of tastes. If you buy a book on tapestry weaving and you want to be inspired, get this one ASAP before it goes out of print again. You won't regret it. It's beautiful.

This is a great book with easy to follow instructions. Wonderful for beginners like me. It includes a very helpful step-by-step process of making a sampler and some ideas for future projects as well as some of the author's work that provide a flavor of what kind of artist she is. Highly recommended if you can find it for a reasonable price. I paid just under $17 for the book, which included the shipping. Update: I have found this book online for $30 with shipping on a loom company website; just put the author's name in the search engine.

This book contained details, just what I was looking for. It gave me a solid foundation that I am now building on.

Ich verwende es für meine Tapestry Webprojekte.

Well written and laid out. After looking at various resources on the topic went with spending money on this one and am glad I did.

Kristen Glasbrook is an amazing artist! This book combines not only a brief history of tapestry but also illustrates many components tapestry artists would need with beautiful images and clear descriptions. It's now a special favorite research, go-to book of mine! THANK YOU!

Excellent livre pour s initier a tapisserie tissage et aller plus loin si on veut Des images pas a pas et même si on a pas une maîtrise totale de l anglais C est bien illustré et on comprend avec un dictionnaire pour les mots essentiels en tête de chapitre De plus il n existe pas en français a ma connaissance de livre similaire Je le recommande vivement. J'ai réalisé le sampler sans problème ( en utilisant un cadre en vous tout simple et du cordeau de maçon 1,5 cm et des restes de laine ) et sans surprise de plus son prix n est pas extravagant et on utiles du matériel peu coûteux J ajoute que j aime beaucoup ce que fais l auteur du livre (blog)

This book was exactly what I hoped it woulsd be- an easy to read reminder of basic tapestry techniques, suggestions for taking tapestry further than basics and was illustrated throughout by inspirational examples.
