Following the success of her previous book, Hot Textiles,
Textile artist Kim Thittichai continues to experiment with
A variety of textile techniques and media to guide and
inspire textile artists to create their own stunning pieces.
Beginning with a series of exercises for creating your own original designs on paper, the book is packed with suggestions for developing your ideas further in fabric and stitch.
The second part of the book demonstrates how to take your textile pieces to the next level and experiment with subject matter, interpretation, scale and working in three dimensions – plus ideas for taking inspiration from colour, material, people, process, words, drawing, music and place.
The book is packed throughout with stunning work from a range of students, graduates and textile artists, whose exciting and inspirational pieces encourage the reader to experiment and push the boundaries of their own work.
From rusty ‘body dresses’ constructed from distressed Lutradur to stitiched cotton shrouds or colourful collars stitched together from recycled papers, as well as fantastic three-dimensional constructions – some interactive.
If you are ever stuck for ideas – this is the book for you!
