Weaving is one of humanity鈥檚 oldest technologies and remains central to our global economies. Yet because of the fragility of textiles and their association with women鈥檚 labor and craft, they have often been marginalized in art history. From the early-modern Andes to the contemporary artist鈥檚 studio, weaving has shaped artistic practice and raised important questions for conservators and museums responsible for preserving these delicate materials.

At its core, weaving is an act of material transformation in which discrete threads are organized into coherent cloth. This book brings together some of today鈥檚 leading conservationists and art historians to examines this process, highlighting the structural principles that underlie an art often assumed to be intuitive. The contributors explore how weaving reshaped material production and social life across cultures and historical periods, creating networks of skilled makers and new forms of exchange and shared knowledge.

Taking readers from the human labor of the handloom to the mechanized production of the industrial age, Weaving demonstrates how a practice at the intersection of art, science, and community has shaped social, technological, and economic histories around the globe.
