With patterning options detailed in step-by-step photography, this book enables you to work through more than thirty key techniques, from preparing natural dyes to printing with foils, from hand block-printing to screen printing and using resist techniques. The works of contemporary designers such as Georgina Von Etzdorf, Timney Fowler, Cressida Bell, and Janet Stoyle are highlighted to demonstrate how techniques can be combined and interpreted.

The book presents its essential material in three main sections: Preparation, Using Dyes, and Printing
