A general introduction for artists and makers looking to incorporate textiles and textiles techniques into their work.

This book introduces you to basic textile techniques and encourages you to experiment with your chosen medium to create your own piece of work. Works by featured artists and designers give you plenty of inspiration, with tips to achieve similar styles and effects. Each section also includes many stimulating ideas for source and reference material.

Through colourful images and detail instructions, learn techniques such as transferring images onto fabric, creating fabrics, wireframe construction, 3D wire construction, using a heat tool, materials manipulation, adapting traditional techniques as well as joining, seaming, bonding, layering, mould-making, casting and forming.

Karen Woods is an established textile artist and painter, with 15 years experience as a crafts teacher. As well as taking time for her own personal work, she runs textile and sculpture workshops for a variety of young peoples' groups, schools and community mental health centres. She has also led a group of care leavers in producing costumes for a dance and theatre group that performed at the Millennium Dome.
