About the book >.>.> The idea of group projects in textile art is nothing new: people have come together to sew for centuries and quilters often work communally on large projects such as ‘story quilts’. But recently the trend has increased in popularity – artists regularly get together to share ideas and work sociably from simple one-to-one collaborations with friends to ambitious community projects. In this fascinating book well-known textile artists Cas Holmes and Anne Kelly present an invaluable guide to working collaboratively in both small and large groups. They provide useful information on setting up groups finding venues establishing ground rules and working methods and staging group exhibitions plus a wealth of practical inspiration for ways to work together – working on one project at the same time swapping pieces between different people creating different variations on a theme developing work by means of joint sketchbooks and even working postally or online. They also demonstrate how working with other artists can have a positive influence on your own personal work. The authors have been involved in a very productive collaboration for several years Resonant Textiles and also regularly devise and run community events and gallery exhibitions both together and separately.
