Cloth 100 Artists

Contemporary & Heritage Techniques

Lena Corwin

Description

Lena Corwin highlights the work of 100 talented and diverse American fibre artists using (and reinventing) heritage techniques. The contributors represent a wide spectrum of age, gender, race and locale, and their rooted ancestral influences are unique. Each artist, including Lena herself, shares their fascinating perspective and process to create a book that is a colorful, captivating portrait of works made with fibre.

Chapters explore four categories of fibre art:

  • Weave and Braid (loom, handweaving)
  • Sew and Quilt (patchwork, stitch, embroider)
  • Loop and Felt (crochet, knit, felt)
  • Print and Dye (screen print, block print, batik, dye bath)

The book includes DIY instruction via eight projects so that readers can learn, experiment and create.
