The Textile Artist: Sculptural Textile Art

A Practical Guide to Mixed Media Wire Sculpture

Priscilla Edwards

Description

Working both two- and three-dimensionally, the author combines colour, stitch, shape and texture, layering and transforming surfaces into beautiful, whimsical sculptures full of character, curiosity and charm. With her imaginative use of the needle and her love of retro vintage nostalgia, she has picked up on an enduring trend, exploring excitingly different ideas and pushing the boundaries with her original ways of working.

The book explores a playful mixed media approach to creating 3D textile sculpture, using a variety of media to transform plain papers and fabrics through colour, texture and mark-making. Including both free-machine embroidery and hand stitch, the five projects build in complexity.
