by Ruth Issett (Author)

See all formats and editions

From one of the UK’s leading textile artists and author of Colour on Cloth and Glorious Papers comes a glorious celebration of the limitless potential of printing and repeat patterns on fabric. Aimed at fiber artists and designers, it is packed with imaginative techniques for a wide range of print methods and media. Mono-printing using sponges, rollers, and textured surfaces; screen-printing, including the use of photo-sensitive screens; using thickened dyes; developing ideas on paper; combining print with stitch and fabric manipulation; and incorporating metallic and pearlescent paints: it’s all here, with gorgeous color photographs to illustrate every idea.

Not Just for Textile Artists

Love, Love, Love this book. Recently took a textile class and was able to incorporate many of the ideas in the book. Also most of the ideas translate well onto paper or canvas.

Print, Pattern & Colour

I have quite a few books on surface design, dyeing and so on, but found this book well worth buying, unlike the previous reviewer. After all, how many NEW techniques are there? The photos are sumptuous and eyecatching, techniques are well-summarised, and there were ideas in there that I haven't tried before. A good buy as far as I'm concerned.

Not what I was expecting. More photos of projects and not much how-to. Nice color photos.

I was really pleased to be able to buy this book. Full of beautiful work and great recipes which I look forward to using. This is the second book I have by this author and I think this has more useful information on dyes and ancillary materials.
