Download or read book Archie Brennan written by Archie Brennan and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I have been weaving tapestries for more than half a century. It is as much a part of my everyday as eating, sleeping - or dreaming. It is an utterly ordinary activity for me." One of the world's most influential tapestry weavers, renowned for bringing "pop" into the ancient art of tapestry, Archie Brennan (1931-2019) had an exceptionally long career. Beginning in the mid-1940s and continuing into the first two decades of the 21st century, he pushed the boundaries of the medium, he developed a unique approach to weaving and tapestry design, and he impacted many people with his teaching style and outsize personality. This memoir, compiled with the assistance of weaver and former Wednesday Group member Brenda Osborn, provides the opportunity to pass his insights and his creative voice to a new generation of weavers. Let his incomparable voice explain why weaving is worth dedicating your energies to, even though, as Brennan says, "In the first quarter of the 21st century, tapestry may be regarded as a very minor art form, even an archaic, redundant activity in a high speed, electronic age."
