The printing of textiles, when approached as an artistic discipline, offers interesting and rewarding opportunities for expression. In this book, written as a practical manual, readers will find detailed information about the history of textile printing, the most common fabrics used for printing, and basic instructions for printing on textiles in a studio setting. The technical processes are carefully explained and include examples that make each process easier for beginners to understand. Following an introduction, the book's chapters cover these topics: A Brief History of Textile Printing Textiles for Printing Materials and Tools Technical Processes, including Block Printing, Serigraphy, Devoré and bleaching, Batik, and Serti painting with guta pigments Step-by-Step instructions for six projects: a child's dress, a shawl with gradated colors, a lamp shade, personalized denim clothing, a curtain with Devoré, and an armchair decorated with gutta

From this publisher, readers expect a step-by-step, comprehensive instructional for beginners. Translated from an original Spanish edition, this introduction to decorating on fabrics covers the basics of textile printing in words and color photographs. Some crafters may argue that the first three chapters (on history, textiles, materials, and tools) present a too-brief overview, but the descriptions of printing methods and step-by-step instructions, plus directions for six projects definitely should please others. Occasional sidebars (“making an exposure table”) and charts (e.g, of screen defects and doses for devoré dyeing) accompany the directions for batiking, serigraphy, and block printing, among other techniques. Oddly enough, instructions for projects, from adorning a child’s dress to decorating an upholstered armchair with gutta, plunge the reader in media res, without lists of materials and tools. On the other hand, every major process appears in color, with appropriate close-ups. --Barbara Jacobs
