Creative Dimensions in Weaving explains many techniques weavers can use to incorporate visual and physical depth in their woven fabric. It first looks at many familiar weave structures and transforms them into dimensional surfaces, before exploring the sculptural potential in multi-layer weaves. Aimed at weavers of all abilities, it introduces the principles and topics clearly for the novice, but provides advanced ideas and challenges for those with more experience. Richly illustrated, this thorough book encourages and inspires all weavers with four or more shafts to experiment and to understand the possibilities of adapting techniques to make ever more creative and unique work. The textural surface of cloth is often overlooked. Touching fabrics from birth, most people have an instinct for texture but would not necessarily know how to create tactile surfaces in cloth. Creative Dimensions in Weaving opens the door to various techniques that ally materials with weave structures so that many different three-dimensional surfaces can be made. Some are subtle, some more extreme but all are aimed at moving the fabric beyond the _at plane. The book shows methods, explains the reasoning behind decision-making, and gives many options for the reader to explore and incorporate in their weaving vocabulary, with examples of drafts, cloth and inspirational work from many weavers. For weavers with four shafts and more, the book offers possibilities for any level of expertise, with a particular focus for eight-shaft looms. Single cloth, double cloth with several adaptations, and multiple layers are included.

Words from the Hedge is a passionate evocation of the history, beauty and importance of our hedgerows by a craftsman who has been laying hedges for almost three decades and has the scars to prove it. Hedges are as old as civilisation and as emblematic of the British countryside as chalk streams, hay meadows and oak trees. But unlike woodland and rivers, farmland hedges remain on the periphery of the public consciousness, often going unnoticed and almost always underappreciated. Wielding his pen as deftly he does a billhook, professional hedgelayer Richard Negus takes us on a journey that reveals these ribbons of thorn and barb are so much more than mere decoration or boundary markers. They are essential for much-needed wildlife recovery. If we dont get our hedges right, there is little hope for species like the almost-extinct turtledove.And yet, no hedge is truly wild; each one is a testament to generations of human skill and labour, requiring ongoing maintenance to survive and thrive. But there is a problem: we need more hedgelayers, and this is something Negus is trying to solve.Introducing a lively band of fellow countrymen and countrywomen along the way, Negus explores everything from the practical complexities of modern farming and land ownership to the challenges faced by conservationists. Written with vigour and humour, as well as rare insight and honesty, Words from the Hedge is a timely exploration of how we can use hedges to make the British countryside a place where nature has a home.
