{"product_id":"9781620330234","title":"The Surface Designer's Handbook (PagePerfect NOOK Book)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeginning with studio practices and safety rules, this information-packed handbook is appropriate for both newcomers and experienced dyers but assumes that readers have a serious interest in textile design. An overview of dyeing starts with fibers and fabrics and discusses all aspects of the dyes favored by textile studios—fiber reactive, acid, vat, and disperse—before explaining discharging, screen printing, monoprinting, stamping, stenciling, resist dyeing, dévoré, and painting. Would-be fabric artists are advised along the way to identify a personal approach to dyeing—free spirit? rule-follower?—and color photographs of work by today's top fiber artists elucidate prevailing styles. Recipes and techniques are accompanied by step-by-step instructions with photographs, and a concealed spiral binding allows the book to lie flat. Ten appendices include a worksheet for recording chemicals, procedures, and costs for all projects; a guide to washing fabric; descriptions of stock solutions, thickeners, and steaming; a metric conversion table; and a guide to water temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Interweave Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165503111408,"sku":"9781620330234","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781620330234_p0.jpg?v=1763856030","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781620330234","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
