By Susan Iverson

Respected fiber artist Susan Iverson shares a technique that allows weavers to create shaped and three-dimensional tapestries, on any kind of loom.

Designed for adventurous weavers of all skill levels who love a new challenge, this is the first book on the intriguing pulled warp technique. Used through the decades by a handful of weavers to create 3-D tapestries, and also to make flat tapestries that bend and curve, pulled warp helps weavers achieve exciting results. 

Susan Iverson, a professional weaver who has spent years researching and using this technique, is known for her skillful teaching style. This book offers: 

 

• Clear, easy-to-follow instructions enable weavers to use pulled warp innovations in their own work

• The technical and designing details that creative weavers want

• Beautiful examples woven by Susan Iverson demonstrate what pulled warp has to offer

• Several ways to use it: as an intensive workshop-like experience, an inspiration for weavers at any level, and a source of technical ideas to try

•  Personal insight from Susan on how the technique has had an impact on different phases of her weaving career

“This book balances the practical with the vision and creative thought...a must-have.” —Elizabeth Buckley, The Artist’s Path
