Pattern and Loom: A Practical Study of the Development of Weaving Techniques in China, Western Asia and Europe (Nordic Institute of Asian Studies Monograph, 127, Band 127) - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Becker was a Danish damask weaver with a lifetime's practical experience in his craft and an intimate knowledge of weaving techniques that allowed him to decipher, experiment and interpret original techniques from small remnants of surviving material. With his death in 1986, a fine, old Danish weaving tradition, with its roots in the 1800s, died out and the historical study of material culture lost a great practitioner.
