Details

The Textiles Handbook series was conceived as an introduction to various topics and techniques relating to textiles. The books are aimed at the student or the practised artist who is experimenting in a new area. This book is aimed at both professional framers and textile artists themselves. It provides a thorough introduction to presenting and protecting original textile art.

This handbook provides all the information you will need to help with :-

* A glossary of useful terms;

* Information about choosing a good framer, conservation framing, basic framing techniques and materials for textiles.

* Before you start: preliminary work to be done, correcting any imperfections, discolouration, missing stitches, etc.

* Squaring needlepoint, including types of canvas, equipment needed, techniques and methods.

* Stretching and mounting textile art, including lacing and other mounting techniques, fabric extensions, types of support, heavy fabrics and large pieces.

* The frame itself: mouldings and build-ups, glazing, windowmounts.
