Book Launch: On the Loom by Maryanne Moodie

On the Loom: A Modern Weaver’s Guide brings the ancient art of weaving to the modern day in a lush guide filled with step-by-step tutorials, gorgeous photography, and bohemian projects for both the new and experienced maker. The 20+ projects include Moodie’s popular wall hangings, rag and Moroccan boucherouite rugs, a plant cradle, fringed placemat, wrapped lampshade, knotted cushion—all fresh designs for the modern home that instill a nostalgic quality from the use of vintage textiles. There are also beautiful artisanal garment accessories, like a chunky scarf, festival hair tapestry, and woven necklace. Projects are divided by loom type—circular, rectangle, or found—and each includes instructions for making your own loom. In addition to the how-to, On the Loom is the ultimate resource for finding your own creativity and style through this medium. Readers will learn everything from which materials to use to create different effects, to how colors work together. The weaving trend is growing, and On the Loom is sure to inspire a new generation of people who embrace the handmade.
