A detailed study of the role and legacy of weaving at the legendary Black Mountain College

In the mid-twentieth century, Black Mountain College attracted a remarkable roster of artists, architects, and musicians. Yet the weaving classes taught by Anni Albers, Trude Guermonprez, and six other faculty members are rarely mentioned or are often treated as mere craft lessons. This was far from the case: the weaving program was the school's most sophisticated and successful design program. About ten percent of all Black Mountain College students took at least one class in weaving, including specialists like textile designers Lore Kadden Lindenfeld and Else Regensteiner, as well as students from other disciplines, like artists Ray Johnson and Robert Rauschenberg and architects Don Page and Claude Stoller. Drawing upon a wealth of unpublished material and archival photographs, Weaving at Black Mountain College rewrites history to show how weaving played a much larger role in the legendary art and design curriculum than previously assumed.

The book illustrates dozens of objects from private and public collections, many of which have never been shown in this context. Essays explore connections and networks fostered by Black Mountain weavers; the ways in which weaving at the college was linked to larger discourses about weaving and craft; and Bauhaus influences transmitted by way of Anni Albers. The book also includes works by five contemporary artists that connect and respond to the legacy of weaving at Black Mountain College today.

Adorable but Run Very Small!
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Pearly Pink
These run very small. I was advised by my sister before ordering that Mini Melissa runs small; however, my daughter is a size 11 or 11.5 and since these run in whole sizes I couldn’t imagine ordering a 12! I would think a size 12 would be a range of shoe sizes 12 to 13. They arrived in time for an event we needed them for but were way too short in length so unfortunately they were returned. They are lovely, adorable, comfortable shoes but run very very small.

Cute and comfortable!
Size: 10 Toddler, Color: Mellow Rose
I’ve bought jelly shoes from other brands like GAP and Old Navy, but they hurt my girls’ feet. These ones are different, my girls love wearing them and haven’t complained about any pain and can walk in them all day. The velcro works well and easy to put on. The sizing is true to size. They can easily be rinse off when messy. The value for money is worth it and they appear to be durable.
