An essay from the Canadian bulletin Master Weaver on 'textile sculpture' or 'creative weaving'. It first describes a tongue-in-cheek method: a frame warped with wire, string or ribbon, woven with random sheds and 'accents' such as pine cones and shells. It then argues that real creative freedom depends on mastering technique and that such work is rarely permanent. It closes with advice on sketching first, replacing or treating perishable materials, using leno or net weaves for open areas, and protecting finished pieces with lacquer, varnish or fixative.
