The Cumulative Cloth

A Guide to Fabric Color, Pattern, Construction and Embellishment

Susan Brandeis

Description

The Cumulative Cloth is a comprehensive how-to reference that teaches wet textile surface design techniques for making custom cloth. Projects by expert Susan Brandeis help a range of levels – beginners to relatively experienced studio practitioners – experiment with each method.

The book features wet techniques in detail from application and layering of textile dyes, pigments and chemicals to add colour, pattern and images. The 39 projects help you experiment with each method. Dip into any chapter that interests you, or go chapter by chapter, adding new features, to create a "cumulative cloth" – an artwork that brings surface design to life.

This is a go-to reference to check technical procedures and safety guidelines (many methods and ingredients require caution).
