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.
