Weaving for Worship
Handweaving for Churches and Synagogues
By Joyce Harter

As textiles artists look at the history of their various crafts, a fact emerges that the very most intricate and meaningful fabrics made by humans around the world are those used for worship. This is a book that shows the work of modern weavers and other textile artists who create fabric so well made, so full of meaning, so beautiful that just its gallery is inspiring. The information on European liturgical textile history is very satisfying and informative. The techniques used are those of the textile artist, but with the aura of sacred purpose. Fully illustrated.
