Synopsis

Bringing together traditional Japanese, African and Indian approaches with contemporary practice, this book shows how shibori can be used to produce textiles with intricate pattern and bold colour. A broad range of methods is covered, including tied and stitched designs, as well as wrapping, folding, clamping, pleating and binding.

Alongside practical guidance, it includes clear instructions and diagrams, plus straightforward, safe advice for dyeing techniques. Colour illustrations and examples of quilts and embroidery demonstrate what is possible, with additional direction on transforming finished cloth into quilts, hangings and textile art, making it suitable for quilters, embroiderers and textile artists of all abilities.
