Reviews
Smith's account yields important insights for the history of modernism as well as the art world's current fascination with textiles and fiber art. A welcome resource for any scholar of modernism and a crucial lens on contemporary textile art. --Art Papers This book of theoretical essays uncovers a rarely spotlighted yet deeply significant creative process within the Bauhaus movement. --Metropolis An edifying and overdue investigation of the weavers' far-reaching contributions. --American Craft A fascinating book that should interest professionals and amateurs alike. --CHOICE Compelling research. --Crafts Magazine An important schoalarly work for anyone interested in the history of fiber art, weaving, and the discourse about art vs. medium-specific craft. --Shuttle Spindle & Dyepot Bauhaus Weaving Theory proves to be foundational in rethinking weaving; it is a remarkable work of scholarship, pellucid and engaging. --Journal of Modern Craft
This is the first scholarly analysis of the theoretical writing by the women weavers of the Bauhaus and as such fills a huge gap in the literature about the work of women artists at the school and the role and evolution of a feminized craft within the institution's history. This book functions as not only a history of the weaving workshop, but also a nuanced history of the Bauhaus through the lens of creative practice. --Elissa Auther, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
