Description: HOPI BASKET WEAVING – ARTISTRY IN NATURAL FIBERS by Helga Teiwes, The University of Arizona Press, AZ, 1996. ”Rising dramatically from the desert floor, Arizona’s mesas have been home to the Hopis for hundreds of years. A people know for protecting their privacy, these Native Americans also have a long and less known tradition of weaving baskets and plaques. Generations of Hopi weavers have passed down knowledge of techniques and materials from the plant world around them, from mother to daughter, granddaughter, or niece.” Profusely illustrated in color and black-and-white, this scarce out-of-print book provides an in-depth scholarly survey of American Hopi Indian basket weaving. This comprehensive book not only covers the history and evolution of Hopi basket weaving - from old to contemporary - but also the materials and techniques of their artistry. “Living in a landscape of almost surreal form and color, Hopi weavers are carrying on one of the oldest traditions in the world. Their stories will appeal to collectors, artists and craftspeople, and anyone with an interest in Native American studies, especially Native American arts.” 7.2” x 10.3” hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 201 pages plus full-page color plates.
