Design and the Handweaver

Atwater, Mary Meigs

Shuttle Craft Books

Woolens and Tweeds

Tidball, Harriet

This publication resulted from the six weeks the late Mrs. Mary Meigs Atwater and Harriet Tidball spent in Guatemala in early 1946. There has been a strong trend from harness-controlled weaves, toward finger-controlled designs and the unusual techniques which can be achieved on the handloom only. The textiles of no part of the world can provide the inspiration and technical virtuosity as do the native costume pieces of Guatemala. For those who cannot travel and collect examples firsthand, and for travelers who wish to understand the textiles they see, the only published source for exact directions and designs for the hand weaver are in the writings of Mary Atwater. Certainly no one could present these weaves with greater clarity, authenticity, and beauty than Mrs. Atwater has here, nor interpret the country and its customs with greater charm. 46 pp.

Bateman Blend Weaves

Bateman, William G

In this collection, the pattern weft thread is tied down in regular intervals. The great value of this book to me is in understanding how Dr. Bateman manipulates the few numbers he works with (just 8) to get as great a variety as he does. Illustrated.

The Handloom Weaves: An Analysis and Classification of the 55 Most Important Harness Controlled Weaves For The Handloom (Shuttle Craft Guild Monograph, No 33)

<p>FOREWORD A TRUE national popular art-shaped by the necessities and colored by the dreams of a whole people is a deeply touching and a very precious thing. We in America are a young nation, but there have been years enough for a true national popular art to grow up among us, to develop characteristic forms of beauty, to flourish greatly, to languish, and finally to be revived. There is now no danger that it will ever become a lost art. The following pages are dedicated in loving gratitude to the unnamed artists of Americas early day, and are offered to the new craftsmen of Americas great present in the hope of adding a little to the general appreciation of a fine and a beautiful thing.....</p>
