Combine the textural quality of stitchwork and the spontaneity of paint with this practical, beautiful guide to landscapes in mixed-media textile art. 
Renowned author Cas Holmes brings together the world of the stitcher and that of the painter as she demonstrates her technique known as “stitch-sketching” and shows how to develop your approach to textile art. Focusing on the common language between the two forms, she begins with basic advice on keeping a sketchbook, stitching on paper and fabric, and working digitally. Cas then looks at both urban and intimate spaces, capturing the changing seasons, the technical aspects of painting and dying cloth, experimenting with photos, creating stitchscapes, attaining inspiration from found objects, and so much more.

Renowned for her use of 'the found', she is the author of four books for Batsford, all of which have been reprinted several times. Her writing takes an eclectic view on how the personal and everyday, different places, nature and the landscape can inform your textile work.

She travels, teaches and exhibits internationally including charities such as Plantlife. She has received a 'Pride of Britain Award' by the NRI Institute (India/UK 2010) for her voluntary art projects in India and excellence in her field.

A senior tutor for the Edward James Foundation at West Dean College (where she was also resident artist) Her many-layered, atmospheric pieces are collected and commissioned internationally (pieces are represented in the Museum of Art and Design New York, the Embroiderer's Guild UK and the Garden Museum, London.) She was a guest artist at the Knitting and Stitching Show in 2018 with 'Textile Landscape',(supported by Arts Council England) and worked on a commissioned body of work for Gypsy Maker 4 organised by the Romani Cultural and Arts Company.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful visual journey.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    The first thing you’ll notice is the texture of the cover. It feels like cloth. It’s beautiful. My advice is to first just page through the entire book and just soak in the visual aspects of the photograhs. They are a fabulous representation of textile art. Then go back through again and read the details about each photograh. Then delve into the text. You’ll notice that the “how to” sections like screen printing, for example, have intructions and suggestions listed. There are not a bunch of photos showing each step so from that standpoint it’s not an instruction manual. But there’s plenty of written instruction. Holmes’ descriptions of her own creative processes and those of other artists are fascinating, well written and readable. Even if you never actually do any of the art techniques,this book is a great addition to any crafting library. Enjoy!!

    This isn't really a "how to" book. It isn't simply eye candy either. It's a generous look into this artist's process. Her observations and treatment of landscapes are superb. I recommend this book for textile and mixed-media artists. The binding and paper are beautiful, photographs and text are clear. The text is inspirational. I admit that I am biased. I am a Batsford fan!

    The book is so well presented, beautifully illustrated. A real treat for the eyes and the imagination. Explaining the different forms of printmaking, how to apply these to cloth, utilizing different mediums that are “cloth” friendly. Pretreatments are explained and how to apply, easy to understand. With the different art featured with each design element , holds my interest and makes me want to work through the book, page by page. Well done, and worth every penny.

    Pas vraiment un manuel technique (même si par exemple la sérigraphie ou les cahiers pliés, roulés, sont bien expliqués) mais une grande source d’inspiration, surtout pour le mixed media. Collage, bords bruts, journaux, papier, tissus peints pliés, piqués libres, superpositions de couches et de techniques, utilisation de bouts de tissus anciens…J’ai aussi par ce livre, découvert d’extraordinaires artistes (ou redécouvert comme Annemieke Mein dont j’ai un très beau livre) ; artistes, dont j’ai commencé d’explorer les sites indiqués en annexe.
    Après -avec ce qu’on a de connaissances en soi, (on en a forcément quand on lit ce genre de livres !) on peut se lancer dans sa propre interprétation ; le livre laisse le champ libre à la création sans la restreindre.
