Fabric Art Workshop: Exploring Techniques & Materials for Fabric Artists and Quilters, is a craftroom companion:
Each unique technique is presented with an inspirational, full-page brilliant photo of a fabric journal page. Next to this page you find a short description of the material to be explored and a list of materials and tools needed for the technique. On the next two pages step-by-step instructions illustrated with clear photos show the possible processing.
Binding and finishing methods for showing your results in a quilt are not extensively covered, because that is not the true goal of this book.
Already having books who do cover the subject of binding and finishing quilts, I don't mind. If you do mind, reading this free eBook with 12 methods for binding and finishing could be very useful.
Susan Stein's book takes you through a wide selection of mixed media materials to experiment and play with. The table of contents and the index pages here give a nice impression of the techniques and materials used.
Overall I highly recommend the book for 'home tutoring' and exploring the world of fiber artistry.

I bought this book at her shop when visiting Minn a couple of years ago. My group spent hours playing with all the different techniques. It was a blast. And I agree - not every book needs to regurgitate binding and quilting information.
ReplyDeleteAnd her shop was really cool. It had nice, albeit small, selection of fabric, but it had a really great supply of embellishment and dyes and "stuff" to use on quilts.
An interesting book, it looks like fun Thank you for the link.
