LISBET FRIIS: PATTERNS

Description

For 40 years, Lisbet Friis has worked with textile printing as an art form. In this book she presents a wide selection of handprinted patterns, along with descriptions of techniques and dye formulas. Examples and instructions for textile printing using reactive dyes and printing with mechanical and chemical resist techniques are also included. All techniques are illustrated with printed works in all ranges of colors to inspire artists and art lovers. Textile printing is a specialized discipline within textile design that requires mastering the combination of artistic approach, technical execution, and aesthetic expression. It is an artistic field with a distinct visual and tactile impact. A great deal of knowledge is being lost as the textile industry becomes increasingly digitalized—this publication aims to preserve this knowledge and expertise and in doing so impart it to future generations.
