Tapestry Weaving by Joanne Soroka

Tapestry Weaving by Joanne Soroka

Tapestries were among the most prestigious of art forms, created for the mightiest in the land and valued for centuries. Despite its illustrious history, tapestry weaving is actually a simple technique that requires little equipment or expenditure, and can be done anywhere. Written by a prominent tapestry weaver, this lavishly illustrated book gently leads you through the whole process with detailed diagrams and exciting work by contemporary weavers. It will be useful to the absolute beginner, but experienced weavers will also find new ideas and techniques to tempt and inspire them.

Joanne Soroka has been weaving tapestries for over forty years. After gaining a post-graduate diploma with distinction from the tapestry department of Edinburgh College of Art, she worked as the artistic director of the Edinburgh Tapestry Company (Dovecote Studios) and then taught for seventeen years at Edinburgh College of Art. At the same time, she exhibited her work in eleven solo and some one hundred group exhibitions around the world. Her many successes include a major award for individual development from the Scottish Arts Council. She is a professional member of the Society of Scottish Artists and is on the Crafts Council's Index of Selected Makers.
