Fibers: Experimenting with Fabric & Textile Ink is about Learning the basics, experimenting, and creating cohesive artwork. It explains very simple methods of applying the textile water-based ink on the fabric and how to get intricate designs on the sample swatches and the final artworks.
Students may have already tried simple techniques, such as monoprinting, rubbing technique or stenciling, perhaps in middle school or high school. But Fibers is going to push them further and they will be surprised by the final outcomes. For those who already know about the basic elements and principles of design, this book should be even more fun.
