Inspired to Stitch by Diana Springall
This is a fascinating look at the exciting world of textile design and how artists in this field develop their work through the use of sketches, photographs, collages etc. Focussing on the work of 21 British textile artists from the past 50 years, this book displays drawings and pages from workbooks, preliminary designs and models as well as the finished product. The result is a fascinating and practical look at how well-known designers get their inspiration and then translate it into finished work. British textile design is a world leader and its influence tremendous so this book should have wide appeal. Winner of the Textile Awards: Textile Book of the Year 2006
The anecdotes and excerpts from conversations with the artists are delightful, and the biographies and pieces themselves are inspirationalwww.fibrearts.com (Jan/Feb 2006) This will become a classic, justifiably so. Textile Fibre Forum (2006 no. 81)
