The new bible of surface design for fiber artists, Art Cloth is a comprehensive guide to creating rich textures, colors, and patterns on cloth using a broad range of surface design products and a wealth of innovative techniques.

In these pages, author Jane Dunnewold — a recognized expert in the field — shows you everything you need to know using clear, step-by-step demonstrations and photography. She introduces you to latest products, including dyes, color removing agents, paints, and foils, as well as a wide variety of processes such as silkscreen printing, stamping, stenciling, handpainting, and more.

In addition to detailed surface design techniques, Dunnewold inspires artists to take their art cloth to the next level through sidebars with design tips and exercises that support the technical information.

Chapters are divided according to technique and conclude with project ideas for further practice. Anyone working through the book can literally build layers on cloth as each chapter is completed.

For fiber artists, art-to-wear designers, art quilters, or mixed media artists looking to explore new materials, Art Cloth is a must-have resource.
