Conclusion
Sources & Materials
This beautiful and inspirational book written by a doyenne of British textile design explores the art of painting and making patterns on cloth.
Sarah Campbell is an internationally acclaimed textile designer who, together with her late sister Susan Collier, founded and ran a groundbreaking and renowned design partnership, creating iconic motifs for the industry’s greatest names for more than 50 years. Love of pattern and colour and an inventive freshness are the hallmarks of her work. She now works on her own – making, teaching, writing, and continuing to paint designs on cloth and paper both for commercial production and to special commission.
I cannot think of a better artist than Sarah Campbell to introduce
would-be designers to produce hand-painted textiles. Sarah has made
a career focusing on the delights of pattern in simple, but
deliciously varied, directions. Anyone who notices pattern will
have spotted her witty designs on so many furnishing items. Here
she stimulates her readers to play with basic brushstrokes,
creating bold geometry, and arming them with techniques to create
endless personal flights of fancy. My fingers itch to play with all
the possibilities that dance in my head each time I thumb through
this delightful book.
