A practical and inspirational guide to using natural materials to create precious textiles that capture the intricate and ephemeral qualities of nature.
In this beautiful book, textile artist, writer and educator Katerina Knight presents unique techniques for using dried flora and plant materials in ways you may have never imagined before. From sowing seeds to sewing stitches, Stitching with Nature brings together both horticultural and textile practices to create material magic with the natural world.
With a focus on four specific plants (lavender, cornflower, dahlia and statice), Stitching with Nature provides an overview of the history and folklore of each plant, as well as tips for how to grow them and creative ideas for how to include the plants in your textile art. Learn how to connect craft with the organic seasonal cycles of nature, growing and gathering all year long and finding inspiration in nature’s transitions.
Combining the meditative effects of spending time in nature and practising handicrafts, Stitching with Nature prioritises on mental wellbeing, helping you to calm your mind, creatively. Packed with advice and inspiration, this book is a must-have for anyone inspired by the beauty of nature.
