Pages : 200
Book Description
The rich textile traditions of Central and South America date back to pre-Hispanic Conquest times.

AUTHOR: For the last twenty years Angela Thompson has travelled the world in search of textiles to add to her collection. Angela has lectured on and tutored a variety of textile subjects in the UK, USA and Australia.
