Review by Library Journal Review

This is a lusciously illustrated volume by a highly accomplished fabric and paper artist, teacher, and author. Issett (Colour on Cloth) covers simple and sophisticated techniques, from monoprinting and roller printing to screen printing, printing with found objects, stencils, and rubbed and dyed effects. Key equipment, paints, and dyes are explained, as well as the best printing techniques for specific fabrics and papers. This is a good volume for fine artists, embroiderers, quilt makers, fashion designers, or furniture makers. For a full background on this tradition, see John Gillow and Bryan Sentance's World Textiles: A Visual Guide to Traditional Techniques. (c) Copyright 2010.
