Many of the objects we use each day were made via the process of weaving, which is an ancient textile art. The clothes on our backs, the blankets we sleep under and the rugs on our floors are just a few of the woven products we use regularly without really stopping to think about how they were made. The truth is that if weaving had never been invented we would still be relying on animal skins to keep us warm.
Weaving started thousands of years ago and still now, the technique has kept much of its original form. Although there are now several tools and modern equipment that can make patterns faster and more evenly, you can still find hand-woven products made from different parts of the globe. You will find that the design will change depending on the source and the creator. Weaving is still very much the same as it was millennia ago.

The authors interest in this subject was further stimulated by seeing a tapestry in the V&A Museum in 1921 of which the central figure, the Virgin Mary, is depicted weaving an elaborate lace on a tablet loom. After much studing of the technique and the capacity of the little appliance the author presents the outcome of the experiments clearly in this books pages.

Marjorie and Williams Snow present a fascinating new look at the ancient art of tablet weaving.
This ingenious method of weaving--which uses tablets, or cards, instead of a loom--produces a unique fabric of great strength.
Because this craft requires little investment in equipment, it is an ideal introduction to weaving for the novice; it also offers intriguing new ideas for weavers already experienced in other techniques.
Easy to follow step-by-step instructions guide the beginning tablet weaver through a series of beautiful, and useful, projects--including belts, purses, even a small rug.
A selection of traditional designs, ideas for drafting original patterns, and outstanding examples of tablet weaving from museum collections and by contemporary artists further highlight possibilities of this unique craft.
With nothing more than colored yarn and simple cardboard squares, crafters can produce exquisitely patterned woven bands with this guide, which includes patterns for sturdy belts and camera straps, delicate silk trims and ties, creative wall art, and even hefty rugs and mats.
