A little nugget to keep in your library.

And to our greatest pleasure, a next book by Charlotte Vannier will be released at the end of 2024!!!

Because embroidery is not reserved for the domestic sphere, Charlotte Vannier went to meet contemporary artists who are revisiting this traditional technique in a completely new way.

These women and men have made embroidery their preferred medium to share their fantasy, their struggles and their dreams. The 82 artists presented in this work have in common a love of thread and immense originality.

From medieval tapestries to Indian chintz to Renaissance embroideries, each textile or wallpaper, presented in chronological order, is accompanied by a very simple proportional color grid. These palettes clearly show the color combinations that, throughout history, have created the splendid designs that are still admired and reproduced today.

This practical guide, addressed to graphic designers, designers, creators, but also to enthusiasts of creative hobbies, supports the reader in the creation of more or less complex patterns.

Using four basic geometric transformations (rotation, translation, reflection and sliding reflection), the reader is invited to play with combinations and rules to produce original and stunning friezes, mosaics and tilings .

Valérie Belmokhtar went to meet men and women from five continents, for whom art is a way of reconnecting with living things and celebrating its diversity and resilience. She transmits to us their hopes and the richness of their practices, which respond to each other and open up inspiring perspectives.

Ysabel de Maisonneuve

La couleur sur le fil

Through fabric and color, Ysabel de Maisonneuve is in constant exploration of space and movement. Thanks to the shibori techniques that she never tires of experimenting with, she brings the fiber into dialogue with light, color, the antics of water and wind, to try to reproduce the impressions that capture her body on the surface of skin.
