Dyeing and Screen-Printing on Textiles is a clear, easy-to-follow guide, very popular with both students and accomplished artists and designers who wish to expand their knowledge of a range of fascinating techniques. Joanna Kinnersly-Taylor covers all the key processes used in creating dyed and screen-printed fabrics using a range of synthetic dyes. This comprehensive guide includes recipes for cloth preparation, dyeing and printing, fixation, designing a repeat, and preparing imagery and screens for exposure. Advice is also given on equipment needed for setting up a studio and safe working practice. The step-by-step instructions are accompanied by inspirational illustrations from practitioners around the world. Published by A & C Black in March 2012, the second edition of Dyeing and Screen-Printing on Textiles was fully revised and expanded. It contains many new images, charts for easy calculation of ingredient quantities, and features a refreshing new cover and layout. However, as it has now sold out, it is only available second-hand via Amazon or eBay.
Joanna is currently working on the third edition of the book, which is being expanded and revised and will feature step-by-step photographs and case studies, as well as new examples of contemporary printed textiles. It is anticipated this will come out in 2026.
