Every Thread a Story is a tribute to ethnic minority artisans of China's Guizhou Province. The book introduces more than a dozen contemporary artists from four ethnic groups working in the techniques of their ancestors, including indigo dyers, embroiderers of varying techniques, weavers, a metalsmith, and a paper maker. It is also a tribute to the heritage craft traditions and techniques passed down through the generations of their families.
The Secret Language of Miao Embroidery presents, for the first-time, expert interpretations of the Miao symbols and motifs embellished on traditional clothing of the Miao peoples of China. A wide-ranging look to the future questions the effects of tourism and modern development on the craft and culture of southeast Guizhou Province. Using examples from pieces in a museum's collection, the author provides clear descriptions and stories for 60 symbols
