Aside from the role as a functional tool, the spinning-wheel has long existed as a medium for expressing artistic tastes. Art exists in the making, as much as in the finished work.
Guide to the Art of Wheel-Making provides detailed plans and instructions for making one of the (arguably) most elegant wheels ever made, the Bisson. Along with working sketches and detailed drawings of wheel-maker’s jigs and fixtures, Carson Cooper takes a deeper dive into making the Irish Castle wheel and French wheel, Colette. Rather than acting as only a book of plans, Guide to the Art of Wheel-Making strives to guide the reader on the path to becoming a wheel-maker theirself.PLUS
