Textile Landscapes demonstrates how to develop your approach to
textile art with a focus on using found objects and paint and
stitch on cloth and paper. Cas explains how to exploit the contrast
between the hands-on textural quality of working with fabrics and
threads and the spontaneity and movement of brush marks to lend a
painterly quality to your work. She begins with the basics -
keeping a sketchbook to generate ideas, painting and stitching on
cloth and on paper and working digitally; Inspiring Landscapes
looks at natural and urban space, the changing seasons and great
landscapes as well as intimate spaces and travel diaries; Painting
and Marking with Cloth explains the practical aspects of painting
and dyeing cloth and how to make connections between paint, print,
dye, stencil and stitch; Stitch-scapes looks at the different forms
of landscape, experimenting with photographs and prints and how to
translate those images using ink, stitch, abstract and collage
techniques and then at how to transform the image using digital
techniques; On Closer Inspection covers using elements and details
from landscape and the environment as found objects and for
research; finally People and Place explores the relationship we
have with the outdoors and the built environment, as well as
personal interpretations of place. The book includes artworks by
the author that explore the UK, USA, Europe and Australia, as well
as works by other internationally renowned textile artists. A
creative guide ideal for textile artists of all levels - students,
teachers and practising artists and makers - to make unique and
beautiful work inspired by the world around us.
