Description
The Indian Textile Sourcebook explores the dazzling inventiveness and creativity of Indian textile designs, spanning from the woven silks of royalty to simple block-printed patterns. This authoritative sourcebook is overflowing with colour and patterns that both inspire and inform.
The introduction provides an overview of Indian textiles, detailing the methods by which they were made and their intended uses. The book is organised into three chapters, categorised by pattern style: Florals, Figurative, and Geometric. Each chapter includes an introduction to the style's history and demonstrates techniques of structure, surface, and embellishment patterning.
A wealth of cross-referencing by theme and process makes The Indian Textile Sourcebook a uniquely useful resource. Over 300 breathtaking and varied designs are examined in detail through close-up shots of patterns and materials. Additionally, a careful examination of the reverse of many fabrics reveals different weaving techniques, allowing the reader to see precisely how these textiles were crafted.
