Steaming, simmering, soaking, or composting plant materials with water or dye extracts their pigments and produces strong Espontaneous prints, both lifelike and abstract. Metals, minerals, and soils are also materials that produce eco prints. BINDING: Plant materials are wrapped tightly in fabric–creating thick textile bundles–and tied with string, which give it interesting marks, prior to steaming. CREDIT 1 4 BUILD YOUR FIBER ART LIBRARY VOL. 2 | FIBERARTNOW.NET ©Fiber Art Now | All rights reserved | Fiber Art Now grants permission for any or all pages in this issue to be copied for personal use ARTICLES To obtain the basic eco-dye print with plants, these (and other) materials are bundled or layered in frm contact with pre-mordanted cloth or paper, placed in a covered cooking vessel, then steamed or simmered in water or natural dye, or perhaps soaked or composted for a time, in or out of the sun. Even a frst print can be successful! Ready to explore eco dyeing? Eco dyeing is fber art with elemental appeal, combining simplicity of technique with enticing complexity of outcome.

Te originality, immediacy, and directness of eco printing complements creative and frugal re-use of secondhand, natural materials such as linen, cotton, silk, wool, and other materials as substrates. Te artists intend that each element, including concept, material, and process, contributes meaning to the whole work. A print may seem fnished as soon as the bundle is opened, or it may become the frst stage in an art journey that continues with traditional techniques to make art for display or to wear such as wall art, sculpture, artist books, garments, or textiles for the home. From a wider perspective, eco printing links contemporary fber art, not only to respect for natural environments, but also to the recovery of lost dye- and plant-knowledge, and to an appreciation for handwork carried out from the heart and without hurry. Gleaning Techniques Making art with non-toxic and environmentally friendly materials “in” and “of” the Earth is the objective of the seven international fber artists featured here. Tey have adopted eco printing as a technique for direct or contact mark making on textiles or paper, employing a variety of approaches. Using kitchen-friendly extraction processes and readily available materials, the artists utilize natural dyes from plants, lichens, fungi, soils, mineral-rich rocks, and rusted metals to obtain a print. Teir work is a contemporary application of traditional dye knowledge gleaned from natural dye practitioners such as Dominique Cardon, Karen Diadick Casselman, Jenny Dean, India Flint, Lois Jarvis, J.N.Liles, and Kimberly Baxter Packwood, among others. Te artists use various terms besides “eco printing” (e.g., “eco dyeing”, “natural printmaking”, “organic printmaking”) to refer to their individual methods of obtaining nature’s marks.

  • What Is FIBER ART a Bit of History
    What is FIBER ART A bit of history The Fiber Art, also called Art Fabric, Texil Art or Textile Art, is a current of Contemporary Art. This artistic expression began with the futurist avant-garde who controversially introduced in their works the most heterogeneous materials. Between 1920 and 1933 at the Bauhaus founded by Walter Gropius, spread in the discipline of weaving, research and experimentation with artificial silk, chenille, cellophane, metal and works by Anni Albers. The Fiber Art was born in the 50s, following the American Expressionism in the USA, Canada, Japan and Europe. The most important moment in the development of this art was in the 60s and 70s. At that time, creativity in the textile field, passes through an expressive and exciting phase: the search goes around and artists produce the more dissimilar works, using many techniques and experimental forms. What is flexible is textiles The field is really vast: yarn, rope, paper, textiles, fibers, not spun, felt, metal wires, plastic, plastic nets, plastic weaving with reeds, herbs, twigs ... everything falls into Fiber Art. Among the techniques there are also included the painting and printing on fabric, made with molds and from different materials: toothpicks, rubber bands, lace used as matrices, with reserves of yarn leaves or herbs, hand- sewn or by machine. Each artist has his own vehicle of expression: installations, weaving with all flexible materials, assemblage of material on sewn layers, with crochet hook or metal wires, knitted with ropes of paper or with newspaper cut into strips and yarns, embroidery on paper or evanescent film etc.

California and the Fiber Art Revolution Suzanne Baizerman Imogene Gieling Curator of Crafts and Decorative Arts Oakland Museum of California Oakland, CA 510-238-3005 [email protected] In the 1960s and ‘70s, California artists participated in and influenced an international revolution in fiber art. The California Design (CD) exhibitions, a series held at the Pasadena Art Museum from 1955 to 1971 (and at another venue in 1976) captured the form and spirit of the transition from handwoven, designer textiles to two dimensional fiber art and sculpture.1 Initially, the California Design exhibits brought together manufactured and one-of-a kind hand-crafted objects, akin to the Good Design exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

  • On the Bookshelf CRUCIAL to the CANON One of My Favorite Chapters Was the Discussion on the Buttons Chosen for the Coat
    on the bookshelf CRUCIAL to the CANON One of my favorite chapters was the discussion on the buttons chosen for the coat. “!is is a proper garment made with proper attention to details. Buttons mattered immensely,” Noonan wrote. She goes into great detail about the history of buttons, including the legendary craftsmen that make them for their living. She recounts when buttons were introduced in clothing and when they were #rst used to fasten children’s garments, an innovation that “dramatically improved the infant mortality rate during the Middle Ages.” !roughout the book there are fascinating tidbits of information about the history of various tailors that make the clothes of kings and queens, movie stars, and world leaders. !ere is a certain small club that commissions these bespoke tailors to create their exclusive clothing. According to Noonan, “Cloth #ends can even have their name or other words woven into the pinstripe of their suit fabric.” I was glad she included a discussion about the present-day “explosion in disposable apparel.” Noonan makes note of the current sweatshop TEIN conditions and of the rivers polluted with dyes S and pesticides at the insistence of fast-fashion D WEIN D R that spurs consumers’ demands. “We toss four RICHA times as many textiles in the trash today as we The vicuña has the distinction of producing the did in 1980,” and “we buy more than twice as many clothes as we did in the mid-1990s.” The Coat Route: She also makes mention of the current textile Craft, Luxury & Obsession industry and their research developing polyester fabrics, trimmings, and develop, and what role did they play? !e rich pool of understanding on the Trail of a $50,000 Coat zippers that are biodegradable.

  • Fiber Art History Lecture by Smith Part 1
    Reflections Fiber Art History in America “REFLECTIONS: Fiber Art History in America” is an edited lecture created by Paul J. Smith, Director emeritus of MAD (formerly the Museum of Contemporary Crafts (MCC), American Craft Museum (AMC) - now Museum of Arts and Design (MAD)) It was created at the request of Friends of Fiber Art for a lecture given at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2000 and delivered several times later at other locations in the United States. Its content reflects on the evolution of Fiber Art in America during the 20th Century. As the subject is so vast it highlights only on selected aspects of history and includes Paul Smith’s personal involvement with exhibitions he organized since 1957 when he joined the staff of the American Craftsmen’s Council (now American Craft Council) until 1987 where he served as director of its museum from 1963 to 1987. For information on Paul J. Smith go to Wikipedia, Paul J. Smith – arts administrator. On the Wikipedia site see reference number 6. This contains a link to the American Craft Council library archives for the Museum of Contemporary Crafts / American Craft Museum where selected digitized documents and catalogs can be easily accessed on line. Copyright Paul J Smith, 2020. New York, NY. Digital edit and layout by Leopold Masterson. Text edit by Kathleen Mangan 1 Fiber art today is rooted in the rich history of traditional fiber techniques. 2 Ethnic textiles from around the world provided an inspiration for fiber artists as they began to explore new concepts during the 50s and 60s.

The ecological mutualism documented in Navajo corrals supports traditional weaving, dyeing, food, and medicinal practices in a sustainable and generative cycle that survives despite disruption and exploitation. The network of fiber craftspeople, retailers, ranchers, teachers, spinners, and dyers and their organizations supports the social mutualism of fiber communities. Fiber arts practices can benefit individuals, communities, the environment, and public health, among other things. Conscious fiber activism and critical making can also be used to explicitly draw attention to problems such as overconsumption, waste, industrial “fast fashion,” labor exploitation, environmental degradation, toxic risks, http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/rev_TEKN.2016.v13.n2.52809 ISSN: 1549 2230 Revista Teknokultura, (2016), Vol. 13 Núm. 2: 461-489 461 Sarah Kuhn Fiber Arts and Generative Justice intolerance, and the devaluing of women and their work. Fiber arts have the potential to support environmental and social mutualism and catalyze a new aesthetic of long-term attachment to meaningful objects and communities, reinforcing the creation and conservation of expressive, ecological, and labor value.
