For anyone interested in fabric manipulation or looking for inspiration for new projects, this book is a must read. Pioneered by Chris Palmer, this technique involves folding cloth in geometric patterns inspired by historical architecture traditional cultural decoration. Results alter depending on the type of fabric used. Thin, light-coloured fabric allows light to shine through the pleats at varying levels, giving the technique its name. This book features the history of the technique's development, illustrated with stunning photography of it's many applications.
I have thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with many of the projects featured in the book and have even begun to create my own designs. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a new creative outlet. The process is surprisingly simple and the results are stunning.
