Synopsis

This practical guide offers both instruction and creative stimulus for incorporating consciously foraged materials into textile art, with techniques presented as accessible to all levels and abilities. Methods include hand and machine stitching, solar dyeing, felting and hapa-zome, alongside further approaches for working with natural colour and texture.

Eight projects are introduced in response to the techniques, encouraging you to apply new skills while working at a considered pace and allowing gathered materials to shape the design. Interwoven throughout is a gallery of Caroline Hyde-Brown’s work, providing visual examples that reflect nature’s variety and abundance. Suitable for beginner and intermediate textile artists interested in exploring natural materials.
