Micala Sidore (Northampton, Massachusetts) studied at the Manufacture Nationale des Gobelins in Paris and has woven and exhibited tapestries for 40 years. She lectures and teaches throughout the world.
Micala Sidore, a tapestry weaver in her own right, began work on
this book after organising an eponymous travelling exhibition of
tapestries by 60 weavers from Canada, Mexico and the United
States... This is a surprising book, not only because of the many
weaving artists it portrays but also for the unusual way in which
they are presented. The works, both old and new, are arranged into
nine chapters which allow readers to appreciate what tapestry
weavers seek to achieve in their art... Aside from the way in which
artworks are organised in this book, I was equally impressed by the
number of artists featured (238), many of them, of course, from
North and South America, but also many from Europe and other parts
of the world... It goes without saying that I strongly recommend
buying this very beautiful book which can help readers see behind
the scenes of tapestry making as an art form. -- Textile Arts

"Gloriously produced... the photography and reproduction is of the
highest standard... Contemplation, immersion, and sheer enjoyment
prevail... Represents a genuine celebration of this art form...
Sidore has made a real contribution to all who are creative, who
weave and who enjoy viewing the visual arts." -- Michael Crompton,
Tapestry Weaver
