Inspirational - supporting working artists around the world.

NEW BOOK: Hand Painted Textiles

 

Excellent new publication from the internationally renowned textile designer Sarah Campbell, who with her late sister Susan Collier, produced some of the most iconic design work for more than five decades.

This is a book that is perfect for students, as well as for those who want to expand their repertoire. Easy to follow chapters - give straightforward and liberally illustrated directions, in a whole range of hand painting techniques.

It's a beautifully designed book, one that doesn't scare you when you open it. It is friendly and infinitely approachable and well worth buying. Sarah Campbell and Herbert Press Books have done a great job, and should be proud of the result. Highly recommended!
