The Art & Embroidery of Jane Hall, softback published by Search Press. ISBN 978-1-84448-484-3, price 15.00 from www.searchpress.com
I found this book most interesting for the way n which Jane approachers her work. The glimpses of sketchbooks and storyboards is precious. This will be of great interest to other textile designers and students. To learn how to translate something in nature to a finished piece of embroidery is key to understanding the creative process. Jane’s work is miraculous, and I don’t blame her for not producing a how-to book. She has a unique approach and anyone would do well to study her methods and develop their own unique embroideries. This is a beautifully illustrated book.
