Description
“Guatemalan Backstrap Weaving” by Norbert Sperlich and Elizabeth Katz Sperlich
The Sperlichs’ book details travel experiences and encounters with weavers. Clear step-by-step explanations of weaving and setting up a traditional loom are followed by highly technical documentations of twenty-one Highland textiles.
The primary strength of the Sperlichs’ work is its detailed record of the construction of the twenty-one woven pieces.
Guatemalan Backstrap Weaving is suggested for weavers wishing to duplicate Highland Indian textiles.
