DESCRIPTION:
amazing feltmaking ethnography This book is THE definitive ethnography of feltmaking - the book covers the history and major regions of feltmaking, particularly Central Asia. Burkett does not go into detail about the method of feltmakng (for that there are many other books available) but rather discusses the peoples that historically have developed the practice into an exquisite useful art form. Very much hope this book comes back into print soon.. "Lao's review" according to Amazon Customer. This is NOT a how to book on feltmaking. It IS a very nice collection of examples of felted objects from several regions including Central Asia, Scandinavia and Great Britain. Briefly covers the history of felt making. Excellent photographs of hats, coats, tents, rugs and household objects, mostly in black and white with a few color plates.
This is a book.
