Culture, weaving, history, graphic design, antiques, religion, geography, are all tied up in this superb collection of related articles on one people’s cloth production. Weavers and sociology academics will have a fresh look at the ikat weaving of this region in Indonesia from the gorgeous photography and in depth studies of many facets of this tradition. Preplanned, tied warps, with preplanned, tied wefts are woven into patterns as baffling and complex as the natural environment of the weavers. This study book will help the weaver/spinner understand what they see in the old techniques and inform their work. This is a special book.
