In her book, Sarah King shares her knowledge of fabric surface design, influenced by the fascinating ancient Japanese art of shibori. It is a resist technique in which fabric is manipulated before it is dyed or discharged (bleached) to produce wonderful textural designs for use in quilting, clothing, decorating, or anywhere fabric is found.The most common resist techniques involve stitching, folding, clamping, pleating, binding, tying, compressing, and wrapping. These methods were used to design fabrics before the invention of roller printing, and these types of designs can still be seen today in shibori and mud-cloth fabrics.The book covers fiber-reactive and indigo dyes and bleach discharge designs. Three projects, with explicit instructions, introduce the reader to the fascinating world of fabric manipulation and dyeing.
