An esteemed textile artist shows how to create poetic, personal pieces, filled with depth and meaning.

With a sensitive use of material, quiet attention to detail, and thoughtful use of techniques, textile artists can make works with great personal meaning. Grounded in the key elements of renowned artist and teacher Hannah Lamb’s own process, Poetic Cloth focuses on stitch, print, surface manipulation, and construction to produce seductive, tactile, textile surfaces. She discusses a variety of creative applications and effects, including layering, shadow play, seaming and darning, hand stitching, devoré, cyanotype printing, and creating luster and radiance.
