Joanne Tallarovic is a full-time studio artist who has devoted the past eighteen years of her thirty-five-year weaving career to discovering the magic of rep and pushing its limits. She holds a B.F.A. from the Cleveland Institute of Art in Weaving and Textile Design, and co-founded the first Swedish weaving school in America. Joanne also lectures and teaches workshops nationwide. Her work is shown in Scottsdale, Sedona, and Tucson, Arizona, and is found in numerous public and private collections. She lives in Flagstaff, Arizona.
SummaryWhen was the last time someone told you a really great secret? Joanne Tallarovic, a teacher and full-time studio artist, generously reveals how she modifies traditional Swedish ripsmatta (or Scandinavia rep weave) to create her highly prized handwork. Often associated with rag rugs, rep is a simple weave structure in which the warp almost entirely covers the weft. While Scandinavian rep weave is usually characterized by bold geometric patterns, Joanne has evolved the tradition by combining blocks in unexpected ways and introducing evocative contemporary colorways. The 29 masterfully designed projects, which include clothing, table linens, rugs, wall hangings, and more, will lead you to your own explorations and innovations. Designed for beginning to advanced weavers, the projects are accompanied by step-by-step instructions, clear illustrations, and inspiring color photographs. Let rep weave infuse your weaving with a whole new look!
