Holly Jones: Indian Block Printing, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Immerse yourself in India's textile heritage with 14 projects on fabric, card, paper and clay.

These modern step-by-step projects draw inspiration from the artisans working in traditional block print workshops around Jaipur. From simple motifs to intricate patterns - and from tablecloths and tote bags to air-dry clay and gift wrapping - the instructions can be followed both by beginners and experienced crafters.

Colourful photographic sections are woven into the text, providing details of the authors' visits to block carvers, printers and dyers in the Jaipuri villages of Sanganer and Bagru, and how what they learn can be applied to your own designs.

You will find out how Indian block printing is more than just an art form. It's a conscious and creative way of living.
