On Form a stitcher's workbook on sculptural textiles
Details This is the most recent book from Fibrefusion, the group that have published the well received 'Beyond Boundaries', 'Encrustation' and 'Evolutions'
From the introduction:Some of the best advice we have been given is "not to write a book unless we have something to say". If you were a fly on the -wall at the group's workshop meetings, you would see that we always have something to say - perhaps too much sometimes. It is exciting though, to work through our ideas and challenges, to evaluate what is practical and the subject area we are most inspired by. So here we are once again, inviting you to share our enthusiasm for the three-dimensional - our fourth book,'On Form'.
'On Form' is Fibrefusion's personal response to the experimentation with the creation of sculptural forms in the exciting and constantly evolving field of textiles. As a textile exhibiting group we, like other textile artists, celebrate our individuality and are always amazed when sharing our ideas, at just how many different solutions we come up with in endeavouring to solve the same problem. We don't attempt to cover every method of construction, but to offer suggestions, tips and challenges to show the way we have tackled the creation of sculptural forms, as individuals and as a group. As with our previous books, 'On Form' is aimed at those with experience who have all the basic skills, but who want to develop the confidence to cultivate their own style. Soft cover, ringbound. 56 pages.
