This book explains and illustrates the weaving techniques, designs, colors, and rites and uses of the textile arts that developed over two millenia. These textiles are now threatened with extinction in their original form, but survive in the contemporary commercial re-creations of Tunisian weavers. In exquisite color, 35 plates of both flatwoven kilims and knotted carpets display authentic examples of the traditional textiles and with printed overlays, identify many of the orally preserved motifs. In black and white, 82 figures include photos of spinners and weavers, illustrations of weaving and knotting techniques, the looms and tools employed, and details of patterns and motifs.

Beautifully designed catalogue presenting four artists who began their careers in the mid to late 1990s - Sally Fawkes, John Burton, Richard Jackson and Eva Engström. Each artist is presented with colour images of several of their works, bioraphies and a statement. Seen seperatley the work of each individual artist has its own attractions but as a combined body of work this exhibition provides a rare insight into the wider state of the art in which they have chosen to express themselves. Four good friends are exhibiting their work together, all of them once students at Surrey Institute of Art & Design University College in England and each in his or her own way has developed a recognisable handwriting in glass.
