A 1931 Handicrafter article by Paul Bernat reviewing an exhibit of the St. Louis Guild of Weavers, which grew out of the weaving class at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts taught by Lillian Glaser. It describes the guild's teaching approach and the range of work shown, including wall hangings, tapestries, coverlets, table runners, cushions, samplers and bags. Captioned photographs give warp, weft and pattern materials and threadings such as Rosengang, Dukagang, embroidery weave and Monk's Belt. The article closes with general comments on the history and aesthetics of tapestry.
