India Sutra: On the Magic Trail of Textiles

 
Berenice Ellena (Author)
Synopsis India Sutra is a tribute to the skills of Indian craftsmen, and offers a discovery of textile routes in today's India. In remote villages, ancestral techniques help create countless varieties of fabrics adorned with symbolic designs, embroidery or by precious vegetable dyes. In this universe where all embellishment techniques continue to exist side by side, beauty itself lies in the heart of the workshops where day after day the canvas of the future is woven with fervour. This book is a tool for designers and textile lovers, presenting all types of weaves and decorative techniques. It leads the reader from the material and reality towards myth and ritual, and yet presents the advantages of a practical guidebook. It includes reliable maps, a comprehensive address book, and as such is an excellent vademecum for textile adventures outside and all around India.
