A large part of this material, the majority of which has never previously appeared in print, stems from the author's research into old techniques, but more especially from the development of new techniques which has been the hallmark of his workshop over the past years..... The careful description of techniques is backed up by over 400 specially drawn and very explicit diagrams and 170 detailed photographs mainly of the author's own work.... Peter Dodgson Collingwood was born in 1922 and qualified as a doctor in 1946. He decided to give up medicine for weaving in 1950 and worked in the weaving studios of Ethel Mairet, Barbara Sawyer and Alastair Morton. In 1952 he set up his own workshop, concentrating initially on weaving floor rugs in original techniques and then on weaving hangings in the Macrogauze technique. He has taught at Hammersmith, Camberwell, Central and Farnham Schools of Art, and he also makes regular teaching trips to America. He has exhibited widely in Europe and America and has held oneman shows at the Craft Centre, the Building Centre and the Victoria and Albert Museum. His commissions include rugs for New Zealand House, London, and wall hangings for the Shell Tower, the University of York, Grindlays Bank, and Selwyn College the author Peter Collingwood which is a Magic Name for Weavers who have attended his Workshops and Classes in the U.S and Canada or have Visited his Studio in England the Techniques of Rug Weaving Includes the widest coverage in this Field Ever Offered to Weavers all in this HUGE 575 pages (total), Hardcover Book in overall good condition with clean and intact pages and a good binding, Retired library book with usual stamps, markings and pocket, library name blacked out on outside page edges and price removed inside and book measures about 10" by 7 1/2" 1979
