Ikat encompasses both the history of the ikat process--from its ethnic roots to its contemporary rebirth--as well as detailed technical information on ikat design, dye processes, and much more. Lavishly illustrated with both photos and drawings and including a bibliography, supply and resource sections, and diagrams for hand-building essential equipment, this is an essential reference for both beginner and advanced dyers, one that should find a home in the libraries of fine art collectors and textile lovers alike.
