Three-Dimensional Textiles: with Coils, Loops, Knots and Nets

English

By (author): Ruth Lee

  • Innovative techniques with coils, plaits, loops, knots and nets for textile artists
  • Create two-and three-dimensional structures with embellishments
  • Basic construction techniques with step-by-step diagrams
  • Stunning samples and finished textile pieces

An important book for textile artists looking for new ways of working in two- and three-dimensions, using the techniques of interweaving, looping, twining, knotting, netting and coiling. Traditionally used in basketry and net-making, these simple techniques that need no machinery and no looms are perfect for textile artists looking for fresh ideas. 

A range of tactile materials can be used in these techniques, from yarns to hemp, nettle string, fabric strips and fine rattan to polythene tubing and plastic packaging tape plus there are instructions on making your own cordage. The author introduces ways to embellish these structures with found objects, distressed Tyvek, felted tubes, shells, seed heads, wire, paper-knotted tubes and metal tubes. Each chapter takes the reader through the basics of the construction process with clear step-by-step illustrations and diagrams in addition to samples and stunning finished pieces.
