Looking at Textiles

A Guide to Technical Terms

Beschreibung

Textiles have been made and used by every culture throughout history. However diverse - whether an Egyptian mummy wrapping, a Turkish carpet, Italian velvet, American quilt, or a Scottish kilt - all textiles have basic elements in common. This guide deals with the fundamental terms, materials, and techniques used to create textiles.
