Patterns of Culture - Techniques of Decoration and Coloration

Ars Textrina no.35, a monograph in the Ars Textrina series, published in
association with the University of Leeds International Textiles Archive
(ULITA) as an accompaniment to the exhibition ‘Patterns of Culture -
Techniques of Decoration and Coloration’.
Foreword
The exhibition ‘Patterns of Culture - Techniques of Decoration and
Coloration’ focuses on a particular aspect of decorated textiles: techniques
of coloration and patterning, particularly resist dyeing (including tie-and-
dye, ikat and batik) as well as printing with the assistance of blocks and
stencils. The monograph is published to accompany the exhibition with
the same title; the latter includes textiles from India, Pakistan, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Japan and West Africa.
