I will recommend this for courses in weave design or technology now. As a professor of weave technology, it is difficult to find relevant texts that are less than 10 years old for my courses. Love the balance of design advice and solid technical information. Love the case studies of works by a wide range of contemporary artists. I love the contrast between the historic textiles and the contemporary ones. Kriner, Berea College, It is gorgeous in every way. Upper-level undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." -L. It is also an important reference text for weaving studios. This volume would make a strong textbook for advanced weaving courses. Visually strong support images are pulled from both contemporary and historic textiles with only a few exceptions these are shown at real size or in detail, providing clarity on weave structure and yarn color combinations. With the resurgence of interest in making cloth, this book will surely guide many non-weavers through this fascinating terrain." - Bhakti Ziek, "Primarily a technical text, this volume by educator/practitioner Holyoke explores both the aesthetic and the functional in designing woven jacquard fabrics. Numerous color photographs, including microscopic details, color diagrams, notations and concise text clearly illustrate how this distinctive vocabulary is considered and applied in the creation of figured cloth., "his book is an excellent resource for students of jacquard, but more than that, it is a compilation of inspiration for any artist. Kriner, Berea College, An excellent resource for visual learners, this book provides a wealth of technical analysis and inspiring documentation of Jacquard weaving. Upper-level undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." - L. With the resurgence of interest in making cloth, this book will surely guide many non-weavers through this fascinating terrain." Bhakti Ziek, "Primarily a technical text, this volume by educator/practitioner Holyoke explores both the aesthetic and the functional in designing woven jacquard fabrics. Through well-illustrated examples she explains clearly all the important elements that need to be considered for the creation of Jacquard wovens with today's tools., "his book is an excellent resource for students of jacquard, but more than that, it is a compilation of inspiration for any artist. Julie Holyoke, through her extensive experience and knowledge of this specialised discipline, brings together a diverse range of information from the spheres of both technology and design methodology. This book is a very useful source of information for any weaver who wants to explore and extend their practice into the realm of digital Jacquard design. The book concludes with a rich set of case studies to demonstrate ingenious and effective weave and design solutions. It provides a guide to converting traditional drafts to digital polychrome format, a design terminology and a weave glossary. Digital Jacquard Design examines the design process from end to end, progressing from visual analysis, sample analysis and weave-drafting methods, to figuring techniques and the selection and building of weaves. The book is an essential guide for all who create figured textiles with modern materials and tools, and provides the reader with a 'digital' key to access and employ the great textile traditions of the past. It offers both aesthetic and technical training for students of figured weaving, covering the Jacquard medium in fantastic breadth and depth. Digital Jacquard Design presents a comprehensive introduction to the creation of weave patterning in the era of digitally piloted looms. In the past three decades, developments in loom technology and CAD systems have made it possible for a single individual to design and produce this most challenging class of textiles. For centuries, the creation of Jacquard cloth required the collaborative efforts of teams of designers and technicians working on vastly complex equipment.
