Reviews

This book is an expanded and revised edition of the original 1991 publication. New images of weavings discovered in the intervening years are included, thus forming a comprehensive photographic collection of pictorial weaving by the Navajo weavers. Although intended for the collector of folk art textiles, it is also a fascinating resource book for any weaver looking to gain ideas and inspiration for their own work. Whether a collector of Navajo tapestries or a weaver interested in this pictorial style of the craft, both will marvel at the weavers skill and perception to translate an image they physically can see or visualise into a tapestry. - Jo Finlow, Hampshire and Online Guilds, Journal of Textiles and Weavers August 2020
