About this title

Synopsis

Design one-of-a-kind art cloth for your favorite quilting, sewing, home décor, and garment projects! This comprehensive guide to water-based resist dyeing techniques makes the process easy to learn (and even more fun to play with) using textile artist Lisa Kerpoe’s test-driven instructions for creating depth on a flat surface. Create dimensional effects with ingredients like oatmeal, sugar, and soy wax—mix and match 8 resists with 7 application techniques for endless possibilities. Paint, stamp, stencil, splatter, layer…and come away with soft, touchable fabric. Materials for non-toxic resists are easy to find, starting with your kitchen cupboards!

Although Kerpoe is primarily self-taught, she has studied with several artists and instructors. Their generosity and encouragement fueled her artistic journey.  Kerpoe feels strongly about continuing that circle by sharing what she has learned to support others in their creative journey.

Kerpoe is an adjunct faculty member at the Southwest School of Art in San Antonio, Texas, and teaches textile and surface design workshops across the United States.  She was juried into the ArtCloth Network in 2008. Professional memberships include the Surface Design Association and the Fiber Artists of San Antonio.

Kerpoe left a successful career in human resources twelve years ago to pursue her passion - creating art. She focused on textiles because she loves their tactile quality and is entranced by the gentle movement of cloth with the air current.
