Description
"RECOMMENDED NEW EDITION ISBN: 978-1626542150" When Techniques of Tablet Weaving was first published in 1982 it sold out almost immediately. Weavers, fiber artists, and collectors, hungry for the vast and carefully organized repository of information it contained, have spent years excitedly sharing dog-eared paperback editions and roughly photocopied excerpts of this one-of-a-kind volume. No commercially published book, before or since, has captured the amount and quality of information and research on the art of tablet weaving (also known as card weaving).Finally, long-deprived cardweaving enthusiasts can own their very own copy of Peter Collingwood's landmark book thanks to this high-quality 2015 reprint, complete with dozens of detailed photographs, pattern examples, and step-by-step instructions for each of the techniques presented. In addition to instructional information, Techniques of Tablet Weaving contains pages of historical context for a variety of weaving techniques with clear and helpful tips on reproducing them precisely, as well as modern variations on the classics.

tl;dr =Intermediate, and advanced tablet weavers are encouraged to get this book.Beginners should learn from a separate book specifically designed for learning to tablet weave (Candace Crockett's is still a good one). But get this (Collingwood's) book if you think you'll pursue this fibercraft further.This review is for the hardcover 2015 reprint version of Peter Collingwood's "The Techniques of Tablet Weaving". The book was purchased in new condition and fulfilled by Amazon.CONS - The pages are not "high quality" (more "average quality") but they are thinner possibly to reduce the size and weight of the book. The photos are faded and somewhat grainy but you can still manage to see the point they are trying to convey.PROS - The hardcover cover itself is good quality. The text and drawn diagrams are crisp and clear. And there are a LOT of photos and diagrams.The book begins with the known (at the time of original publication) history of tablet weaving. Because Collingwood was able to work with fibercrafters as well as museum personnel he had access to a wide range of information. In addition to showing historical techniques, he also shows his own experiments with tablet weaving. Text, photos, and diagrams enable readers to replicate (almost?) all of it. There is a great deal of technical information and it is presented well. Collingwood includes important aspects of tablet weaving such as how to make a continuous warp and how to thread multiple cards (tablets) at the same time. He covers the possible orientations of the cards and the different ways they can be manipulated during weaving.This book is appropriate for the tablet weaver who wants a better understanding of WHY tablet weaving works and how to expand on the basic "turn forward" "turn backward". It gives plenty of new techniques to try with tablet weaving. A beginner theoretically could learn to tablet weave from this book, but it would be challenging. However, once a beginner has learned the basics (from another book) this book is a wonderful resource for tips and tricks that are useful for tablet weavers of all levels.
