Art cloth, as conceived by Jane Dunnewold, is fabric on which complex layers of color and image have been built up. Art cloth can become the background for collage, art quilting, embroidery or other textile arts. Or it can stand alone as the art object it is.
Anyone who loves playing with color or fabric or both will enjoy Jane’s new book from Interweave Press, Art Cloth: A Guide to Surface Design for Fabric
. It includes art philosophy, encouragement, basic information about tools and supplies, safety guidelines. Of course. But at heart, this is a recipe book — page after page of technique for coloring, discharging, and marking cloth.
Have you been wanting to learn how to use textile paints effectively? It’s in here. How about discharging color with bleach? That’s just the beginning of Jane’s ideas for removing color artfully from fabric. Maybe you’d like to learn stamp-making, stenciling, resist patterning, screen printing, foiling. She’s got you covered.
Best of all, Jane’s book includes no projects. It is not a set of instructions for creating a particular end product. Instead, she gives us the tools, permission, and encouragement to explore the making of art cloth for our own reasons, in our own unique way, to create our own unduplicatable style.
You know you want this book. It’s probably in stock at your local bookstore. If not, you can order it from Amazon.com — it retails normally for US$ 26.95, but it’s on sale right now for US$ 17.79. ISBN 978-1-59668-195-8.
