Woven Optical Illusions – Stacey Harvey-Brown and Katharina Kronig
A fascinating journey into the world of woven optical effects.
Woven Optical Illusions explores visual illusions through the lens of weaving. Accessible to weavers of all skill levels, this book presents the visual principles behind optical effects and shows how to reproduce them using various weave structures. Each project starts with a concept, moves through design, and comes to life on the loom.
With over 500 detailed illustrations (photos, drafts, diagrams), this richly illustrated book includes step-by-step processes, explanations of the visual science behind illusions, and a touch of historical context. You'll find projects from plain weave to complex twills, including double cloth, summer and winter, taqueté, beiderwand, shadow weave, and deflected double weave.
An essential book for anyone looking to explore visual trickery, structure, and pattern in their weaving.
