Artisan ropework--coiling, spiraling, and stitching cotton rope--is an exciting and relatively unexplored technique for creating baskets, vessels, wall hangings, bowls, and much more. This book, packed with more than 150 photos, is an excellent resource for readers and crafters who are starting out on their stitched-ropework journey, looking for new inspiration, or seeking to explore new techniques. Stitched ropework is a creative, fun craft that is accessible to all skill levels. This book contains 15 projects, starting with beginner projects and moving through progressively advanced designs. It also includes information on how to vary the designs and find your own style within this satisfying craft. All the projects have been designed and executed by Jessica Geach, a well-known textile artist. Geach's ropework has been exhibited in numerous galleries and events, including the prestigious Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair. www.rubycubes.co.uk
