Three-dimensional textiles are a rapidly evolving area that has seen a surge in creativity and innovation in recent years. In this practical book, leading textile artist Ann Goddard takes three-dimensional textiles to a new level, drawing inspiration from natural landscapes, organic materials, and a concern for the environment. Goddard's work combines textile and non-textile elements with construction, using a range of materials such as linen, loose fibers, paper, yarn, concrete, wood, lead, and bark.

One of the key features of Goddard's work is the juxtaposition of fragile and hard, natural and man-made, beauty and imperfection. She challenges traditional notions of what textiles can be and what they can achieve, creating eclectic works that blur the boundaries between different art media. The techniques used in Goddard's work range from stitching, wrapping, couching, and knotting to sawing, drilling, and casting.

In this book, Goddard combines previously separate art media to create eclectic works that challenge boundaries and reject categorization. She encourages readers to broaden their horizons in textile work and provides a linear look at the creative process, from themes, research, and experimentation through to preparing elements, conveying meaning, and constructing three-dimensional forms.

Mixed Media Textile Art in Three Dimensions is not only a valuable resource for textile artists but also for anyone interested in exploring the boundaries of creativity and innovation. The book is brimming with beautiful artwork from the author and features the work of some inspiring and exciting artists creating three-dimensional constructions. Whether you are a seasoned textile artist or a newcomer to the field, this book will inspire and challenge you to push the limits of your creativity.
