 Textiles
from Guatemala (Fabric Folios)
Admired for their vibrant colour combinations and boldness of
design, this book explores the richness of Guatemala's woven
textiles and provides designers at all levels with inspiration
for new and unexpected ways for using colour and pattern in
their own work. Over 20 textiles are explored in a series of
photographs to reveal a wealth of motifs from fruit and flowers
to birds and beasts, as well as abstract and geometric designs
and, more unusually the two combined to startling effect. Who
were the craftsmen who wove these textiles? How were they worn
and why were they made? Are there different styles for different
villages? Can we read stories into the designs and how should
we interpret them? What were the dyes and materials which were
used and the principal weaving techniques employed? In her introduction
Anne Hecht provides the background information to bring the
pieces to life. Where appropriate, brief commentaries highlight
the design features and detailed captions throughout provide
the textile student with relevant technical information. In
addition all techniques and terms are fully explained in a glossary.
Whether you want to rely on the book for eye-catching patterns
or refer to it for specific technical information there is a
wealth of inspiration for readers of all levels.
