Weaving, as a traditional technique of interlacing yarns or fiber, has a long history and has been given many forms over the years. This book will invite 20 DIYers, designers, artists, and craftsmen to talk about their weaving stories. These projects are diverse, from traditional basket weaving in eastern Asia, woven wall hangings made by self-taught craftspeople, to artistic pieces done by designers and artists. Readers are able to look into the production process and detailed patterns of these projects. Featured projects include: Bamboo, grass, and rattan weaving; DIY textile weaving, such as wall hangings, rugs, and home decorations; artistic installations.

To begin with, these are all art weavers. Most of them make wall hangings or installations, not cloth. Some of this art is amazingly ugly. A few projects are included where people are trying to keep traditional skills alive. Their products tend to be more practical, and to my eye, more beautiful, although still not cloth. Basketry.
The 'interviews' are very stilted. It is not clear whether the artists ever actually heard the questions. Some are repeated in most chapters, whether the answer really fits or not. Others seem to have been made up to fit what was said. As you would expect, most of the artists are mostly inspired by nature, love using natural materials, want to communicate love of nature in their work. The sisal project from South Africa was quite refreshing: We use sisal because it grows here as an invasive weed. It has to be kept under control. At least some of it gives us a material we can afford.
I don't regret reading it, but the book is going straight into a Carla bag. (Charity shop) (
