It offers an authoritative guide to all the major embroidery traditions of the region and a detailed examination of the material, technical, artistic and design dimensions of the subject, including its use by today's fashion designers. For millennia, the peoples of Central Asian, the Iranian Plateau and the Indian Subcontinent have migrated and traded along the multiple strands of the Silk Road, both north–south and east–west. This history of contact has found rich expression within the arts and crafts of the region and particularly in the heritage of embroidery which has sat at the heart of the social and cultural lives of these diverse communities. Embroidery has been produced to decorate individuals, their families, their clients, their homes and public spaces and has reflected economic and political changes over time as well as social, religious and artistic contexts. Generously illustrated with 500 images (350 in colour) of clothes, accessories, and examples of decorated soft furnishings such as cushions, bed linen, curtains, floor coverings and wall hangings, the Encyclopedia is an essential resource for students and scholars of the subject.

Book Synopsis From Thread to Needle by : Charlotte Vannier
Download or read book From Thread to Needle written by Charlotte Vannier and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Embroidery is traditionally associated with the feminine and domestic realm, but there is a new wave of makers drawing on its untapped potential to explore global, political and even transgressive themes. Featuring more than eighty international artists, From Thread to Needle shows how the timeless appeal of embroidery is not only surviving but thriving in the modern world. Taking a free-wheeling attitude to time-honored techniques, some artists choose to combine media, applying embroidery to photographs, plastic bags or even slices of bread; others allow their stitches to stand alone, creating densely textured surfaces or delicate networks of natural forms that intrigue the senses. From Thread to Needle is a testament to how the art of embroidery has been re-energized by visionary artists who push the boundaries of its meaning and limits"--
Book Synopsis Embroidery of the Greek Islands by : Roderick Taylor
Download or read book Embroidery of the Greek Islands written by Roderick Taylor and published by Interlink Books. This book was released on 1998-09 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly illustrated volume is the most complete study of Greek island embroidery yet published. Each group of islands developed quite different styles and repertoires of designs using linen, cotton, and silk. Varying populations — urban foreigners and rural natives, Catholic towns and Orthodox villages, invading navies and armies — all contributed to a fusion of styles and motifs that led to one of the greatest displays of decorative folk art to be found anywhere in the world. The styles range from aristocratic and patrician designs from Rhodes, the monochrome geometric work of Naxos, to the exuberant narrative style of Skyros and the Ottoman-influenced work of Epirus.
