4.0 out of 5 stars Valuable resource on dyes and fabric paints, June 3, 2000
This review is from: Fabric Painting and Dyeing for the Theatre (Paperback)
The name turned me away at first, as I am not dyeing for the theater. That was a mistake. While I don't need the chapters on how to set up a dye shop for a theatre, other information provided in this book is hard to come by elsewhere. Covers fiber reactive dyes, acid dyes, 1:2 metal complex dyes, direct dyes, basic dyes for acrylics, disperse dyes, metallics, textile paints, screen printing, 4 different discharge dyeing pastes, batik, blue printing and brown printing on fabric (or whole garments) using light, marbling, airbrush. Much more thorough treatment of potential hazards than any other dyeing book I've seen. Lists of carcinogenic dyes to avoid. Actual test results of fabric feel and fastness of many different textile paints, each on six different fibers. Good index.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable resource., December 27, 2011

This review is from: Fabric Painting and Dyeing for the Theatre (Paperback)
This book is THE book for dyers, even just individual artists not working in theatre.

Great trouble shooting guide and even just good to read as a refresher if you haven't done something in a while. I've been dyeing for almost 10 years and still refer to this book.
