Forage & stitch : using natural materials in textile art
Hyde-Brown, Caroline2024
Book
Find a wealth of instruction and inspiration on how to incorporate naturally foraged materials into your artwork. In the process, discover a range of textile techniques - suitable for all levels and abilities - to complement your design. These include hand and machine stitching, solar dyeing, felting, hapa-zome and more. Using natural materials in textile art is way of connecting a place directly with its artistic representation, but it also makes the artist tap into and observe the true rhythms of the natural world: the seasons, the weather and time. Incorporating consciously foraged goods in art gently forces you to slow down, to take note of each season's bounty, and kindle - or rekindle - an awareness that we are all part of one big eco-system. This is an enriching book on textile and natural art that celebrates the maker's relationship with art and the natural world.
