Book Description
In her book, Sarah King shares her knowledge of fabric surface design, influenced by the fascinating ancient Japanese art of shibori. It is a resist technique in which fabric is manipulated before it is dyed or discharged (bleached) to produce wonderful textural designs for use in quilting, clothing, decorating, or anywhere fabric is found.The most common resist techniques involve stitching, folding, clamping, pleating, binding, tying, compressing, and wrapping. These methods were used to design fabrics before the invention of roller printing, and these types of designs can still be seen today in shibori and mud-cloth fabrics.The book covers fiber-reactive and indigo dyes and bleach discharge designs. Three projects, with explicit instructions, introduce the reader to the fascinating world of fabric manipulation and dyeing.

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 249

This illuminating and provocative book is the first anthology devoted to Twentieth Century Native American and First Nation art. Native American Art brings together anthropologists, art historians, curators, critics and distinguished Native artists to discuss pottery, painitng, sculpture, printmaking, photography and performance art by some of the most celebrated Native American and Canadian First Nation artists of our time The contributors use new theoretical and critical approaches to address key issues for Native American art, including symbolism and spirituality, the role of patronage and musuem practices, the politics of art criticism and the aesthetic power of indigenous knowledge. The artist contributors, who represent several Native nations - including Cherokee, Lakota, Plains Cree, and those of the PLateau country - emphasise the importance of traditional stories, myhtologies and ceremonies in the production of comtemporary art. Within great poignancy, thye write about recent art in terms of home, homeland and aboriginal sovereignty Tracing the continued resistance of Native artists to dominant orthodoxies of the art market and art history, Native American Art in the Twentieth Century argues forcefully for Native art's place in modern art history.
