PUBLICATIONS

 

 

Several members of EAST have now also dipped their toes into the world of publishing, relating to work either started as an EAST project or developed from other textile work:

 

Our first author was Margaret Talbot whose research into medieval flushwork resulted in a publication on this little known subject:

 

Medieval Flushwork Of East Anglia And Its Symbolism

ISBN: 0 946148 69 4

(paperback - 78 pages)

For information on how to purchase a copy, contact Margaret at the following email address:

margaret@easttextile.co.uk

Our second author is Janette Bright whose research into the tokens of the London Foundling Museum led to the publication of an introductory guide, co-written with fellow researcher (not an EAST member), Gill Clark:

 

An Introductory Guide to the Tokens of the London Foundling Hospital

can be obtained from the Foundling Museum in London, either by visiting them or give them a call and will be happy to send a copy by post.  The book costs £5, plus post and packing if not bought at the museum.  All profits go direct to the London Foundling Museum.

Our latest member of EAST to dip into the world of publishing is Carol Dixon, who has edited a book for the Computer Textile Desgn Group:

 

CTDG workbook 10 - Exploring Image Transfer


This workbook attempts to answer that question as to how you can get an image designed on your computer to your fabric.  There are also technical chapters on getting to know your printer and setting up your monitor.
