Mixed Media Art Books

Mixed-media art books inspire, instruct, elucidate, and illuminate. They take us into our favorite artists' studios and show us the tips and tricks that create aha! moments: "Oh, that's how it's done" or "She struggles with that, too!"

We love our fiber and mixed-media art books because they offer a tour inside the creative processes of unique artists like Cas Holmes (The Found Object in Textile Art) and Kelli Nina Perkins (Stitch Alchemy: Combining Fabric and Paper for Mixed-Media Art).

Mixed-media books, printmaking books, collage books , paper craft books, fabric art books all encourage to explore a material or process in depth, like in Lutradur and the New Fibers: Creating Mixed-Media Art with Spunbonded Materials and The Surface Designer's Handbook: Dyeing, Printing, Painting, and Creating Resists on Fabric. When you need inspiration, there's nothing like opening a mixed media book and browsing through the pages. In no time, a color, texture, project, or process will spark an idea that gets the ideas flowing again . . . often in a direction you never thought to go before.
