![Handloom Weavers in Ulster's Linen Industry, 1815-1914 [Illustrated] (Hardcover)](31aKG4AZK3L._SL160_.jpg) Handloom Weavers in Ulster's Linen Industry, 1815-1914 [Illustrated] (Hardcover)by K.J. James
Price: £45.00
K. J. James examines linen handloom weavers as they encountered changes in the industry, and explores fluctuating definitions of men's and women's work in the trade. Using a case study of mid-Antrim's rural weavers, this book explores sexual divisions of labour, the gendering of skill, and work strategies in weaving households as it analyzes the persistence of hand production in Ireland's main textile sector. This work advances the study of hand producers in Irish industry, whose diverse experiences have been neglected in favour of urban factory labour in the study of the post-Famine Irish linen industry.

 Weaving Tapestry in Rural Ireland: Taipeis Gael, Donegal (Hardcover)
by Meghan Nuttall Sayres and Laurence Boland
Price: £37.05
In this beautifully wrought chronicle , Meghan Nuttall Sayres has drawn from the past to celebrate the present and future of Taipeis Gael, a tapestry weaving collective of international reputation in Donegal, Ireland. This group of dedicated artists has created a body of work whose compelling imagery, both pictorial and abstract, evokes a powerful sense of their ancient land --a land of rock and of sea, of wool and of natural dyes, of textiles past and of textiles yet to be created. Sayres has woven tapestries, photographs and the very words of the people themselves into a visual and narrative feast from which I could hardly bear to emerge. Sarah Swett, tapestry weaver and author of Kids Weaving.
