Textiles From Mexico by Chloe Sayer
Mexican textiles have a vitality that is unsurpassed elsewhere in the Americas. The arts of spinning, dyeing, weaving and embroidery are practiced in hundreds of rural communities where indigenous peoples retain distinctive clothing styles, sometimes mixing this with post-Colonial influences. The author draws on her extensive travels in Mexico to provide a living context for these varied textiles. Techniques and clothing styles are explained and brief commentaries highlight the key features that make the designs so uniquely Mexican.
Chloe Sayer has been researching Mexican textile traditions since 1973. She lectures for museums and art colleges, and has made ethnographic collections for The British Museum. Her many books include Mexican Textiles, and Arts of Crafts of Mexico. In addition, she has organized numerous exhibitions and worked on a number of television documentaries.
