Synopsis

Would you like your weaving to be more original? Are you not finding the inspiration you need for your next project and beyond? This study guide is likely the answer. Inside you will find: Exploration of ten different art forms for inspiration, such as painting, architecture, sculpture, music, and performance art. Brainstorming exercises to generate innovative ideas for your weaving. Practical advice to help you embrace risk, add artistic concepts, work in a series, and write your artist statement. Each chapter provides material for a twelve-month course of study. The first chapter suggests methods for organizing a study group that is able to produce the greatest number of innovative ideas. On the other hand, the book is just as helpful for any weaver or other fiber artist working independently.
