Weaving With Wire

Weaving With Wire Synopsis

Weave with wire and fiber to produce metal fabric-an entirely new art material that can be used for jewelry, sculpture, basketry, and more.

Use a four- or eight-harness loom to weave an entirely new art material that you may never before have considered-metal!

By using a wire warp and fiber weft, intermediate- to advanced-level weavers can create a woven metal fabric that is strong, malleable, and sculptural.

Expert weaver Christine K. Miller has been weaving with wire for 30 years, and her online and in-person workshops are highly sought after. She's the only weaver teaching this amazing technique.

Learn about

• the materials and supplies needed for this metal fiber technique
• planning your project
• preparing and beaming the warp
• and choosing the weft

Christine then takes readers step by step through a "Foundation Project," a basic woven wire fabric serving as the basis for creating their own metal fabric crafts.

Be inspired by Christine's work and what she has made with woven wire-baskets, jewelry, sculptures, and more-with detailed information on how she made them.

In addition, Christine includes a fascinating chapter on using the principles of art and design to let the reader's imagination soar when crafting with woven wire fabric.
