About this ebook
Beginning with studio practices and safety rules, this information-packed handbook is appropriate for both newcomers and experienced dyers but assumes that readers have a serious interest in textile design. An overview of dyeing starts with fibers and fabrics and discusses all aspects of the dyes favored by textile studios - fiber reactive, acid, vat, and disperse - before explaining discharging, screen printing, monoprinting, stamping, stenciling, resist dyeing, dévoré, and painting. Would-be fabric artists are advised along the way to identify a personal approach to dyeing - free spirit? rule-follower? - and color photographs of work by today's top fiber artists elucidate prevailing styles. Recipes and techniques are accompanied by step-by-step instructions with photographs. Ten appendices include a worksheet for recording chemicals, procedures, and costs for all projects; a guide to washing fabric; descriptions of stock solutions, thickeners, and steaming; a metric conversion table; and a guide to water temperatures.

Reviews for The Surface Designer's Handbook
7 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Details about all current chemical dye substances, safety issues and exactly how to use them. Invaluable for anyone who works with dyes.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Used as a reference book by university level fiber arts teachers, this is not necessarily a book for those just starting their journey with manipulating fabric, but rather the person with some basic knowledge and experience and a desire to more fully understand the science and art behind it.
