Hand-knotting the warp threads for ikat dye process
I’m so pleased to have contributed two chapters to this award-winning book. I wrote and photographed the weaving in Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca, and in Tenancingo de Degollado, Estado de Mexico.
Many who go on our textile study tours buy this book and find it very helpful to supplement the information we give and offers options for independent exploration.
