"Textile artist Lynne Stein gives advice on materials, tools and equipment, and provides step-by-step directions – accompanied by vibrant instructional photographs – for 20 projects exploring playful design and quirky creativity, including rugs, cushions, bags and personal accessories. There are also lots of helpful hints on sustainably repurposing fabrics, yarns, and other precious and useful items that might otherwise be discarded. A list of international museum collections is also included, as are examples of the work of both historical and contemporary artists and designers such as Evelyn Ackerman, Anya Paintsil, Anna Perach, Joan Moshimer, and Lady Emma Tennant. A brief history of the traditional textile craft of rag rug making and other techniques, and ideas for their inclusion in community projects all demonstrate the vast potential for experimentation, self-expression and creativity within these processes. This book has plenty to fire and inspire and will encourage you further on your creative textile journey, making both decorative and functional items."--From publisher.

Lynne Stein is a textile artist and originally trained as an exhibition and display designer, and as an art therapist. Lynne's work has been widely exhibited and she has been featured in magazines and journals as well as on BBC radio and TV broadcasts.
