The aim of this terrific book is to provide an informal approach to printing on fabric – to get us all to improvise and imagine and make unique prints. The techniques are ‘low cost, low tech, low key and high impact’ says the author, who also advises that if you don’t like the fabric you have made, ‘trade it... add another layer or two...cut it up’! Print using anything with texture - bumps, holes or interesting shapes can be used. You will need natural fibre fabrics such as PFD, along with paints, dyes and other bits as specified within the book. Be brave and have a go! This would be especially good in a classroom or group dyeing situation – the possibilities are endless.
