Explorations in Carpet Design

ISBN: 9780500518052 (HB - E)
€
It is comparatively rare for a practitioner to present their thought processes, inspirations and techniques in their own style in a straightforward, no-nonsense, jargon-free way. Deirdre Dyson's book is a welcome exception. This book describes her journey from figurative painting into carpet design and carefully explains the thoughts, questions and challenges that occurred along the way, and the techniques required to support them. A foreword by Professor Sir Christopher Frayling contextualizes Dyson's award-winning work within discussions about art and design, and then Dyson herself reflects on her long experience of designing exquisite luxury carpets. The chapter 'Techniques' introduces the traditional methods she uses to create these carpets, and how these conventions can be manipulated to create stunning effects. 'Process' then explores the steps - from inspiration to making, that lie behind any design. These chapters are followed by Dyson's collections. Illustrated in full, they demonstrate her love of colour and her range of inspirations, from butterflies to sea shells. Dyson's carpets are at their best works of art and works of design. They are also examples of superb craftsmanship. And, as this book reveals, they are extremely pleasurable as well, on many different levels.
