When jane dunnewold's book complex Cloth was published in 1996, it quickly became the bible of surface design for fiber artists. She guides and inspires artists to take their art cloth to the next level through sidebars with design tips and exercises that support the technical information. Finally, each technique chapter concludes with project ideas for the skills learned, so anyone working through the book can literally build layers on cloth as each chapter is completed.
In the years since, the world of surface design has significantly expanded: now fiber artists, and art quilters have a much broader range of surface design products to choose from, art-to-wear designers, and there are a wealth of technique combinations that can be used to create art cloth. Art cloth picks up where complex cloth left off, showing how to layer processes with the latest products to create stunning cloth for use in a variety of fiber art.
