Walking on Art: Explorations in Carpet Design

A practical introduction to the techniques of contemporary carpet design
Walking on Art explores contemporary carpet design from a practitionerâ€™s viewpoint, describing through techniques and illustrations Deirdre Dysonâ€™s fourteen-year journey from figurative painter to carpet designer.

A foreword by Professor Sir Christopher Frayling contextualizes Dysonâ€™s award-winning work within discussions about art and design, and then Dyson herself reflects on her long experience of designing exquisite luxury carpets. The chapter â€œTechniques" introduces the traditional methods that create these carpets including hand knotting, hand tufting, and carving, and how these conventions can be manipulated to create stunning effects. â€œProcess" then explores the stepsâ€•from inspiration to makingâ€•that lie behind any design. These chapters are followed by colorful illustrations of Dysonâ€™s extensive collections. Here are fanciful butterfly motifs alongside geometric patterns and floral designs, brought together in one stunning collection. 167 illustrations
