Excerpt from A Text Book Dealing With Ornamental Design for Woven Fabrics
HE primary reason why the authors undertook the writing of this work on Ornamental Design for Woven Fabrics is, that they felt the want, when teaching, of some book where the subject was systematised and specially dealt with. In planning it out we have been guided by our experience of the difficulties met with by students in local weaving schools, believing that the same may also be felt by others.
It is not intended to cover the whole subject of Orna mental Design, that having been already written upon in many excellent books, and the ground has perhaps been well covered; but for the purpose we have in View, these books may be considered too general for students devoting themselves to 'one special branch of Technical Design, the information they desire being lost amongst so wide a field of material. It is hoped that our efforts may bring the necessary knowledge within a narrower focus and thereby make it more easily accessible; the consecutive order in which the matter is presented may also be helpful to students, designers, and manufacturers of textiles, in forming clearer ideas on the artistic side of Textile De signing than they would otherwise be able to obtain from the books published on the subject of Ornamental Design in its broader aspect.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of ornamental design, specifically tailored for woven fabrics. Emerging from the late 19th-century surge in technical education, it addresses the need for a structured approach to textile design, bridging the gap between artistic expression and the practical constraints of weaving technology. The author meticulously guides readers through the fundamental principles of geometric design, exploring shapes like squares, hexagons, and circles, and demonstrating their application in creating repeating patterns. The book then delves into the planning and construction of intricate designs, including drop patterns, turn-over designs, and sateen arrangements. Beyond geometric structures, the book explores the adaptation of natural forms like flowers and foliage into textile patterns. It emphasizes the importance of conventionalization, balancing inspiration from nature with the practical considerations of weaving and the aesthetic principles of design. The book also ventures into the realm of abstract and traditional ornament, showcasing historical examples and their evolution through time. This book equips aspiring textile designers and enthusiasts with the knowledge and techniques to create both aesthetically pleasing and technically sound woven patterns, underlining the significance of a harmonious relationship between art and industry.
