Sketchbook Explorations: For Mixed-Media and Textile Artists

Working with everything from fabric to found objects, Shelley Rhodes demonstrates how sketchbooks can act as illustrated diaries for textile artists, and as a starting point for expanding their creative process. She explores the importance and joy of creating a sketchbook; ways to record and investigate inspirational ideas; mixed-media techniques, including layering and three-dimensional sketching; going on location; and using electronic devices to develop projects.
