Tapestry Weaving

Summary: A visual feast
Review: K. Glassbrook's small book on Tapestry weaving is a visual feast illustrating all the most useful techniques in wonderfully detailed photos. I would recommend this as an introductory book for aspiring weavers as everything about the text is crystal clear. I believe this book could even be used to teach children how to weave. It does not have all the technical detail of Nancy Harvey's book but it is an inspiring place for a beginner to start. Like Harvey she succeeds in making tapestry weaving accessible to everyone as she includes instructions for making a basic frame loom. Her teaching sampler is very attractive and fun to weave. My favorite part is the gallery of Ms. Glassbrook's tapestries including detail photographs. Her use of color is amazing and much more contemporary than what I've seen in other tapestry books.
