Ruth Issett<\/a> – A Creative Dialogue Through Writing Books with anyone who looks at them<\/p>\n

Why do I write books?<\/h3>\n

For many years I have taught in colleges, mainly adults, and demonstrated art and textile materials and techniques at international shows. The questions I have been asked have spurred me on to write, explain and to hopefully visually stimulate individuals. I have wanted to fill in the gaps in people\u2019s knowledge \u2013 to help to encourage and inform them with their personal creative journey.
\n\"books<\/a><\/p>\n

Who am I aiming it at?<\/h3>\n

For those who are keen to have a go and try to express themselves visually. Through writing books I try to explain processes, techniques and materials used to create textiles \u2013 printed, dyed or stitched or work using paper.<\/p>\n

\n\"colour<\/a>\n<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

How do I do it?<\/h3>\n

I use simple but good materials \u2013 undyed fabrics- cottons, viscose, linen and silks<\/p>\n

I work with a wide variety of papers initially uncoloured.<\/p>\n

By using dyes and printing media to explore colour, pattern and surface texture, I develop ideas, designs and larger pieces of textile work.<\/p>\n

I use painting, printing, drawing, stitching in many combinations to visually communicate ideas, images or even just exploring the \u2018what if\u2019!<\/p>\n

I love the excitement of combining different liquid media together in work, to build the intensity of the colour and to feel the vibrancy of the colour resonate.<\/p>\n

What am I saying?<\/h3>\n

I am having a creative dialogue with so many people, some I meet, others I never will, some will attend workshops, others will participate in courses with me across the world. Most of all I want them to share and experience the joy that comes from working with various techniques and media, of exploring colour on a host of different surfaces.<\/p>\n

\"work<\/a><\/p>\n

\"detail<\/a><\/p>\n

Ultimately visually colour feeds the soul, it is good to enjoy it and it does not make you fat!<\/p>\n
