The Idea . . .
This website is dedicated to teaching and publishing designs and techniques in fashion and textiles that have a timeless compelling element. Often these patterns, books and illustrations are "lost arts" that have been abandoned, leaving their intrinsic appeal to be rediscovered by a new generation. The premise here is that human sensibilities essentially remain unchanged by markets and trends and will always respond to the richness of an idea.

Announcement:

In a natural evolution, as of July 1, 2008, Antiquity Press will become a a brand name of a line of reprinted pattern and fashion books offered by our new non-profit, The Center for Pattern Design.

To learn more about the Center, please click on the red link above. Let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions, as we seek to focus more on the pattern itself and its various facets. There will also be a newsletter associated with the Center. Thank you for your continued interest and support.
