The Maker's Hand
Author: Peter Collingwood
You can not talk about a book by Collingwood without saying that he is respected by all that know him. His view of weaving is always well supported.
Collingwood, for whom structure is a consuming interest, has selected over ninety objects from around the world, each of which he analyzes in detail, revealing the inevitable beauty that can be achieved only by a varriage between appropriate materials and ideal structure.
All the objects, which range from Indian camel girths to the springs of a US army Jeep seat, from Japanese triaxial silk to Botswanan beer strainers, and from Omani sandsocks to a Tuareg hat, have been specially photographed by Daved Cripps to complement the author’s analytical diagrams. Together they provide a book of outstanding visual appeal.
