tribal & village rugs: the definitive guide to design, pattern and motif tribal & village rugs: the definitive guide to design, pattern and motif
Peter F. Stone

This is the definitive guide to the design, pattern and motif of the rich weaving traditions of the Near East and Central Asia and an indispensable resource on Oriental rugs and carpets. The book is divided into six major regional and tribal groupings which are further subdivided into sections which give more precise attributions and motif types, examining the derivations and uses of medallions, field repeats and borders, as well as the relationships between them. It is a valuable aid to identifying the enormous variety of tribal and village rug motifs - a treasure house of inspiration for designers of all kinds. 352pp

In this book, the history of rag rug making through the centuries is explored, illustrated by examples of rags and rug makers from different eras. In the techniques section Jenni explains some effective ways of making rag rugs, all illustrated clearly with step-by-step diagrams, and then provides a selection of projects which you can make or adapt to try out your skills. As all the techniques can make use of recycled materials, rag rug making is an ideal creative outlet if you're concerned about the environment and a sustainable lifestyle. You'll also find plenty of helpful information on materials, tools and equipment, plus hints on planning, designing and marking out rug patterns. 120pp
