Textile Creativity Through Nature

by Jeanette Appleton
 
Practical ideas for rewilding your creative practice.
Internationally renowned textile artist Jeanette Appleton takes both budding and more experienced felters through a series of ideas for working with nature to nurture creativity, inspire, and make us more sustainable artists. Creating exciting felt surfaces that are both beautiful and versatile, she demonstrates how to capture the nuances of nature—lines of sea, hedge, and grass, cracks in parched earth, light on early morning dew, frosted puddles—and translate them into subtleties of texture and stitch.
