This beautiful and inspirational book written by a doyenne of British textile design explores the art of painting and making patterns on cloth. Fabrics bring colour and vibrance to our lives, adding inventiveness and charm to both our clothes and our domestic interiors. In this book, lifelong textile designer Sarah Campbell takes you through her world of pattern and colour to uncover the joys of design from dots, stripes and checks to more surprising decorative solutions. Painting straight onto fabric is a very different experience to designing for digital production. Everything is unique, the placing of the patterns and colours is in your hands. The beauty is that the pattern doesnt have to repeat there can be just one bird or just one square, if its in the right place. Beautifully illustrated with Sarahs colourful and internationally acclaimed work, her fabric designs show the comforting rhythm and universal language of pattern. Learn how to create your own unique designs using a range of tools and techniques including brushes and potatocuts, stencils and simple kitchen cupboard resists. Explore the delights of painting on different fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk and calico/muslin. Develop your understanding of scale, colour, tonality and the organisation of pattern ideas, alongside suggestions on how to use your finished fabrics.
