Product Description
Product Description
As with other furniture and accessories from the Arts & Crafts period, marvellous reproductions and inspired textile originals are being crafted by talented women. The results are embroidered pillows and table runners, stencilled window shades and coverings, one-of-a-kind linens, "centerpiece" accessories, and even women's fashions. The low horizontal silhouettes and abstract shapes of Prairie style, the open-air lifestyle of California, the Spanish warmth of the old missions and the influence of Japanese design all are captured in this text.

An Excellent Resource by a Noted Expert,
By A Customer
This review is from: Arts & Crafts Textiles (Hardcover)
Ann Wallace is nationally recognized as an expert on fabrics and textiles of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. She has developed her knowledge both through academic and practical experience. This book reflects her experience and knowledge. It is a "must have" book for anyone interested in the history of the Craftsman Movement in the U.S., and especially for anyone who is acquiring or collecting textiles from the period, or contemporary work done in the Craftsman Style.

A lite book on the subject,
This review is from: Arts & Crafts Textiles (Hardcover)
I appreciate this book because books on Arts and Crafts Textiles are few and far between. However, I would have loved to spend a lot more money and gotten a much more comprehensive book! I want more pictures--hoards of them--of textiles from the collections of zillions of people and museums. This book whets the appetite, but leaves room for more. It is a good quick introduction. Now I need something with lots of meat.

The ultimate resource for Arts & Crafts textiles,
By A Customer
This review is from: Arts & Crafts Textiles (Hardcover)
This book is the finest of its kind. While other books on the period touch on textiles, this is the only book dedicated to the subject. For anyone decorating an Arts & Crafts home or with an interest in period design or creative needlework, it is the ultimate resource. The author not only knows her subject intimately, but presents the information in a clear and exceptionally readable style. As a designer specializing in period interiors, this book is one that I will suggest to my clients again and again!
