Summary
In Cloth, Lena Corwin spotlights American artists using (and reinventing) heritage techniques. The contributors represent a wide spectrum of age, gender, race, and locale; and their rooted ancestral influences are unique. Each artist, including Lena herself, shares their fascinating perspective and process to create a book that is a colorful, captivating portrait of works made with fiber.
Chapters explore four categories of fiber art:
-Weave and Braid (loom, handweaving)
-Sew and Quilt (patchwork, stitch, embroider)
-Loop and Felt (crochet, knit, felt)
-Print and Dye (screen print, block print, batik, dye bath)
The book includes DIY instruction via eight projects (created by the author in collaboration with a contributing artist) so that readers can learn, experiment, and create.
Contributing artists include: Zak Foster, host of the Seamside podcast; Jen Garrido; Ilana Kohn; Rose Pearlman; Hopie Stockman Hill, Block Shop; Windy Chien.
