Fabric Dyeing & Printing

"Clearly written, and presented in easily accessible sections, Fabric Dyeing and Printing expertly guides you through the choice of fabric types, the vast range of dye recipes, and the profusion of traditional and new techniques. Exploring the patterning options with the help of detailed step-by-step photography, this book enables you to choose and work through any one of over 30 key techniques, from preparing natural dyes to printing with foils; from hand block-printing to screen printing and use of resist techniques. In addition, to give you confidence in exploring ways with colour and pattern, the work of contemporary designers such as Georgina Von Eztdorf, Timney Fowler, Cressida Bell and Janet Stoyle, is highlighted to demonstrate how techniques can be combined and interpreted." --Dudt jacket.
