AUTHORS: JEAN PIERRE LAROCHETTE, YADINE LAROCHETTE
The history, legacy, and boundless creativity of weavers over the centuries is the base of this helpful guide for tapestry artists, collectors, and other stakeholders and enthusiasts. Tapestry weaving is an art form that has been around since antiquity, and these insights from renowned artist Jean Pierre Larochette offer 30 traditional techniques built upon weavers' centuries of work. A fourth-generation tapestry weaver, he gives us a glimpse into the multiple combinations, variations, and applications of techniques. Each technique is exemplified by diagrams, woven models, and examples of possible applications. Textile conservator Yadin Larochette shares theories and approaches to conservation and addresses the much-needed task of preserving these treasures of human creativity for centuries to come. Along with distilling traditional information on the art, this book's precise written instructions and clear visuals--together with its handy lay-flat binding--assist you in both creating and preserving tapestries.

From the Middle Ages, tapestries with figurative or other ornament were used by royalty and aristocrats to furnish their palaces and houses. While often observed as two dimensional art, they are three dimensional structures requiring specialist skill to maintain and conserve them. Since the vast majority of tapestries are on open display in historic interiors, they pose particular conservation and interpretation challenges. Textile conservator Ksynia Marko explains current practice undertaken at the National Trust, UK, with regard to the care of tapestries and tapestry collections. Each chapter is fully illustrated and includes step-by-step instructions for different procedures. There is also a comprehensive glossary and bibliography. The aim is to help conservation students and conservators carry out assessments in order to arrive at appropriate options for treatment by focusing on: the techniques of tapestry manufacture; agents of deterioration, preventive conservation, routine care, estimating procedures and project management, methods of cleaning, support and consolidation, display and storage. Specific issues are also presented in 20 case studies, ranging from the control of fugitive dyes, adhesive removal, different wet cleaning methodologies and techniques used to re-instate the image.
