The Art of Weaving

This is a reference and tutorial book that every weaver, whether new or experienced, should have on their bookshelves or open beside them. It’s well-illustrated with plenty of clear diagrams. […]

What I especially like about this book is that Betty addresses the problems and difficulties that can arise, while providing clearly illustrated solutions; from threading mistakes, losing your warp cross and controlling threads, to the ideal ergonomics for each stage of the weaving process.

Betty Briand’s interest in textiles is rooted in childhood skills learned from her grandparents who were passionate about fibre arts: weaving, spinning, vegetable dyeing, knitting, and making ropes. After solid training from several instructors, she became a full-time weaving teacher. Today, she works with students in her ARTissage workshop/school located in Chinon in Touraine, France, while continuing her own explorations in weaving.
