This review is from: Ikat Textiles of India (Paperback)
Ikat Textiles of India - Chelna Desai (1988)
From inside flap " Ikat textiles are among the most prized fabrics in the world. Reowned for their brilliant colors and complex patterns and designs, they have been woven in India since the sixth century. Ikat textiles of India is a full-color comprehensive guide to this unique form of weaver's art, featuring hundreds of examples of the best work from private collections and from the weavers themselves. The styles shown range from traditional to contemporary, simple to complex, and common to rare. With information on the history and technique of ikat and a useful glossary, this fascinating and beautiful book will prove invaluable for anyone interested in textile manufacturing and fabric design."
Ikat "involves the sequence of tying (or wrapping) and dyeing sections of bundled yarn to a predetermined colour scheme prior to weaving". Includes a brief history of Ikat textiles in India; notes on Ikat technique; seven groupings of illustrations of Ikat textiles; comparisons between Indian and Japanese Ikat textiles; symbolic forms in Ikat textiles; glossary; and bibliography.
