Editorial Review:
This book follows the creative process of designing and printing textile patterns, from the initial sourcing of ideas to the final high-quality creation. It provides ideas and practical information at a level easily accessible to textile students and designers, but also to novices who would like to learn more. Throughout, the text is enhanced by an exciting range of images, from historical surface-pattern designs and textiles to the work of contemporary designers. Topics include advice on generating ideas and expressing them visually; a cultural and historical background to surface-pattern design; experimental methods of working from paper onto fabric; and practical details on fabrics, equipment, and techniques for dying and printing. June Fish teaches at London’s Central St. Martins College for Art and Design.

Don't expect just a progressive 'how to' here 2006-06-22
From ideas to finished, polished products, DESIGNING AND PRINT TEXTILES is for any textile artist who would understand how to hone a range of images and then translate them to textile form. Don't expect just a progressive 'how to' here, though instructions are such when necessary: also included as background history of surface-pattern design, analysis of pattern structures, tips on using experimental methods of working from paper onto fabric, and details on equipment and techniques for different dying and printing processes. June Fish is the senior dye tech at London's St. Martins College for Art and Design, so her insights and resources come from a practicing professional.
