Weaving as an Art Form by Theo Moorman

Weaving as an Art Form by Theo Moorman

Outstanding among textile artists is Theo Moorman, a British weaver who has taught extensively in the United States. Illustrated with beautiful color and black and white examples of her work are her thoughts on the design and aesthetic expression embodied in a woven fabric. The technique of weaving that bears her name is explained with numerous ways the Moorman technique may be varied and used with further exploration. Her experiences with commissioned works are utilized in a special chapter relating the problems and opportunities these present.

Theo Moorman, MBE (1907-1990) was a dedicated artist weaver. She developed an innovative weaving technique (the Moorman technique), and is known for her teaching, as well as her large commissioned works found in cathedrals and churches throughout Great Britain and the United States. Her greatest output in later years was in weaving wall hangings, mainly designed for private houses. In the 1970s, responding to the demand from weavers for teaching, she held workshops throughout the USA each summer for ten consecutive years. Her book Weaving as an Art Form was originally published in 1975.
