ISBN: 9781931499903.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning 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, devore, 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 todays top fiber artists elucidate prevailing styles. Recipes and techniques are accompanied by step-by-step instructions with photographs, and a concealed spiral binding allows the book to lie flat. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Interweave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964973379637,"sku":"ByrdShop_193149990X","price":29.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781931499903_b87f37d4-8c3f-4d31-8f14-e6a0c972366c.jpg?v=1792557788","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-surface-designers-handbook-9781931499903","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
