Summary:
"Poetic cloth is about how cloth, stitch and surface create personal
meaning
in
textile
art
. It shows how a more thoughtful use of material and process can create textiles of depth and
meaning
. Grounded in the key elements of the well-established author's work, the book begins with an introduction to materials, their properties and personal meanings. Subsequent chapters help the reader to explore the connection between process and material, focusing on stitch, print, surface manipulation and construction to create seductive
textile
surfaces. The emphasis throughout is on a sensitivity to material, a quiet attention to detail and thoughtful application of
textile
technique. The chapters are: Touch (cloth and swatch); Stitch (mark, surface and space); Trace (layer and shadow play); Fragment (worn, threadbare, cobweb); Mend (patch, seam, and darn); Lustre (alchemy and radiance). Techniques include hand stitch, shadow work, patching, darning, devore and cyanotype printing. Written by member of the prestigious 62 Group Hannah Lamb, this is an invaluable book for
textile
artists who want to give more
meaning
to their work."--From publisher.
