In this generous book, she shares, with great detail, her mastery of shibori techniques and dyeing. Attention to detail makes this an excellent guide for all levels. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAn introduction explains shibori as the interaction between compressed cloth and dye. The section entitled \"Shibori Tradition\", along with additional pages throughout the book, reveal the history of shibori worldwide and how politics, economics, and fashion affected design, including particular techniques developed by significant Japanese masters in modern times. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe \"Techniques\" section proceeds from the simplest to more complex stitched patterns and shows the power of simple motifs in repeat. Even complex techniques are made clear with step-by-step photos and illustrations. Only a few indigo photos are perhaps too dark to be easily discernible. Some 100 pages are devoted to cloth preparation and process for specific techniques. Even the most experienced practitioner will learn something new about stitching on a single layer, on folded or pleated cloth, or combined methods such as capping and oversewing. Developing a motif by filling in larger shapes encourages creativity. Techniques not usually associated with stitch resist, such as clamp resist and binding or capping to a core, increase our understanding of the possibilities. Suggestions on dip dyeing for variety in some patterns and buffers for clean edges and to prevent knots from pulling through are invaluable. Degumming silk and even working on synthetic fabrics for interesting dimensional results without dyeing is explained. Japanese stitch names are used throughout. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe sections on \"Pattern\" and \"Dyes\" will set the novice on the right path. Although many examples are dyed in traditional indigo, which is particularly well suited to resist dyeing, mordanted natural dyes, tannins and fiber reactive dyes enliven the book. There are excellent didactic chapters at the end of the book on these dyes. Indigo in particular is well explained. Callender acknowledges the dye experts she has learned from: Michelle Kwon of maiwa, french dye chemist Michel Garcia, and her compatriot author Jenny Balford Paul. The chapters devoted to discharge and dyeing whet the appetite for further exploration. The reader is encouraged to innovate and adapt traditional patterns according to her own artistic creativity. The author provides excellent sections on working with a grid and planning ahead for complex interactions between small pattern motifs. Other valuable tips are highlighted throughout. Callender's book should be read through with care and referred back to often when planning a new project. In this age of searchable documents on line, references to useful pages on particular techniques are appreciated. Finally, the gallery of Callender's own inspiring artwork shows what true mastery of craft can produce. This is an excellent companion to Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada's two earlier seminal books on shibori. Callender's book is a must have for all textile schools, shibori dyers and surface design artists. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Barbara Shapiro * Shuttle Spindle \u0026amp; Dyepot *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutumn 2017\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe author is very well known as both a tutor and textile artist, and this book certianly met my high expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eStarting with an explanation of the process and an overview of worldwide shibori traditions, the text moves seamlessly through a full description of procedures, starting with methods of scouring fabrics for dyeing, knots and stiching variations.

Design advice is provided throughout, so that you don't just master techniques, but learn to use them as effectively as possible.

Exploring the art of Shibori, in particular reference to stitched pieces and the pattern they create, this book exhaustively covers everything. It consists of three sections – Technique, Pattern and Dyeing. In Technique, there are 35 different approaches to stitching fabric. Many different stitches and patterns are explored, whether stitching on a single or double layer, how space between stitches can change a pattern, curve, pleat or binding. There are variations within each choice, producing multitudes of photographs of all the different effects achieved by changing the smallest detail. It is quite\u003cbr\u003e mind-boggling! If you want to work on stitched Shibori techniques, there can’t be many places where you can find all the answers. Pattern is a short section but teaches how to create the different patterns and stencils. You can see how combining techniques creates an infinite number of patterns – if you thought the first section was overwhelming, suddenly the world of Shibori opens up more widely. The Dyes section is extensively recipe-laden with many different Shibori dyes and how to create them.\u003c\/p\u003e * Workshop on the web *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMay 2017\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eShibori is a technique with its roots in Africa, China, and Japan. I’ve seen some\u003cbr\u003e pieces that are as intricate and delicate as a snowflake and as such I’ve rather filed this technique in the box marked ‘advanced’ i.e. not for me. Jane is a highly respected Shibori artist, teacher and speaker and so used to breaking down the technicalities of this centuries-old tradition into practical steps. The book is laid out intelligently, starting with the process of sewing in a single line of straight stitch with clear illustrations and photos showing the results that can be achieved. You can progress quite quickly by introducing more lines and layers or with folds and curves. Finished patterns can quickly become quite kaleidoscopic and for anyone interested in designing their own fabrics this could possibly get quite addictive. I was particularly drawn to the chapter on Wrapped Pattern, which combines stitching on the fold with binding the cloth around a cylinder for its more unpredictable results (but that’s me all over: living on the edge!). As with any technique involving dyes, you’ve got to have a certain amount of space to experiment and be comfortable handling chemicals. There are safety guidelines and recipes for all manner of dyes, both natural and synthetic, at the back of the book and some amazing colour combinations can be achieved with practice.

Callender wastes no time delving into every aspect of creating patterns using stitch resist. She begins with a brief introduction to shibori, before explaining the basics of\u003cbr\u003e preparation, tying knots, pulling threads and simple stitch arrangements. In pages 22-122 she explains all the key stitch-resist techniques needed – how various lengths, directions and rhythms of hand and machine stitch produce different marks. When combined with folds, pleats, binding, capping, wrapping, appliqué or multiple layers, the possibilities are endless. A second chapter reveals how to create intricate patterns. Finally she provides tuition and recipes for natural and synthetic indigo dyeing, as well as natural dyes and throughout, the instructions are explained clearly with helpful diagrams and photographs.\u003cbr\u003e Jane Callender has condensed a lifetime of practical expertise to create what can be best described as the shibori’s artist’s ‘best friend’, packed with both traditional and inventive stitch-resist techniques, designs and inspiration, including examples of her own work.\u003cbr\u003e Readers of this book will not be disappointed – both beginners and experienced makers will benefit from this guide, which at this price provides incredible value for a reference book you will return to again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e * Embroidery Magazine *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a lovely book, with a new technique I haven't tried before.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I must admit I am more of a knitter and crocheter than stithcer, but the running stitch technique is easy to master, and the effects are amazing!

To gain insight into the history of how folk practices have been lost and technical processes found, anthropologist and textile artist Lauren MacDonald explores a practice that is both ancient and wholly modern: coloring cloth. The pursuit of color has long spurred economic and social contest, and through this deeply researched volume we explore the stories that the materials used to dye cloth tell us about our complex relationship to nature, our troubling ideas about progress and our understanding of power and labor. In Pursuit of Color brings together historic techniques, archive photography, specimens and present-day events to tell the histories of some of the world’s most important dyestuffs. A 32-page supplement accompanies the volume, detailing practical applications and the chemistry behind dyeing processes. The book comes in three different covers (red, yellow and blue) which are shipped randomly as a further happy surprise. Lauren MacDonald (born 1990) is a Canadian-born multidisciplinary artist, designer and founder of the London, UK textiles studio Working Cloth. She has a background in material culture, textile science and fashion.","brand":"Atelier Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48869212651863,"sku":"9781954957008","price":33.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781954957008.jpg?v=1722291653"},{"product_id":"grow-cook-dye-wear-from-seed-to-style-the-sustainable-way-9780241536445","title":"Grow Cook Dye Wear From Seed to Style the","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA fully illustrated, practical guide that explains how to follow a sustainable approach to food and fashion\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLive sustainably with style – grow fruits and vegetables, cook them, create natural dyes, then make your own clothes with five full-size pattern sheets.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwap food waste and fast fashion for homegrown produce, delicious vegan dishes, and a contemporary capsule wardrobe with the help of fashion designer, dressmaker, and writer Bella Gonshorovitz. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocused around five crops (blackberry, nettle, onion, red cabbage and rhubarb) that can be foraged or grown in an allotment, planter, or container, Bella shows you how to embrace a holistic garden-to-garment lifestyle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eLearn how to forage, sow and harvest with straightforward grow guides.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eEnjoy your produce with advice on the best vegan pantry ingredients and recipes for vibrant, flavour-packed dishes.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCreate natural dyes from your food waste to upcycle fab\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Dorling Kindersley Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48883891700055,"sku":"9780241536445","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780241536445.jpg?v=1722529478"},{"product_id":"decorating-eggs-9780764346545","title":"Decorating Eggs","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884533461335,"sku":"9780764346545","price":20.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764346545.jpg?v=1722532395"},{"product_id":"the-cumulative-cloth-wet-techniques-9780764366901","title":"The Cumulative Cloth Wet Techniques","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA comprehensive how-to reference that teaches wet textile surface design techniques for making custom cloth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Brandeis takes us on a journey into the expressive nature of stitch . . . reveals how to manipulate stitches much like an artist might a pencil or paintbrush.” -- Embroidery Magazine on The Intentional Thread","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884588249431,"sku":"9780764366901","price":41.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764366901.jpg?v=1722532645"},{"product_id":"the-diy-guide-to-tie-dye-style-the-basics-and-way-beyond-9781644031551","title":"The DIY Guide to Tie Dye Style: The Basics and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake tie dye to the next level with this in-depth visual guide!
