This book deals with the basic techniques of artistic textile printing. These are explained in a full and instructive way for all those with a practical interest in this artistic discipline. After a brief introduction to the history of printing, its pages discuss the main textile fibres and the most common fabrics, along with the materials and tools used in the workshop. Textile printing techniques (with moulds, screen printing, devoré and decolourant) and reserve printing techniques (batik and serti) are explained in great detail, with special attention paid to the expressive possibilities of each technique. The final chapter goes step by step through six original projects that employ different techniques.
