Overview: Textile design, as a discipline and practice, sits at the intersection of art, craft, culture, and technology. Over the centuries, textiles have served as both functional objects and artistic expressions, embodying the narratives of societies, their technologies’ advancements, and their makers’ creativity. In the contemporary era, textile design has evolved to address the complexities of modern life, engaging with issues such as sustainability, cultural preservation, and technological innovation. The Art and Craft of Modern Textile Design is a timely and significant contribution to this evolving field, offering a multidisciplinary perspective that bridges the traditional with the contemporary and the local with the global.
This edited volume is a testament to textile design’s dynamic and ever-changing nature. It brings together a diverse group of contributors, including academics, practitioners, and industry experts, whose work explores the multiple dimensions of textiles as both material and medium. The book delves into the rich traditions of textile crafts, emphasizing their cultural and historical significance while highlighting the innovative approaches reshaping the discipline in the twenty-first century.
One of the central themes of this volume is the interplay between tradition and innovation. The contributors have shed light on how traditional textile practices, rooted in centuries-old techniques, continue to inspire and inform contemporary design. These practices, often tied to specific cultural and geographic contexts, offer a wealth of knowledge and creativity that can guide modern designers in pursuing sustainable and meaningful solutions. At the same time, the book explores how advancements in technology—from digital printing to smart textiles—are expanding the boundaries of what is possible in textile design, opening up new opportunities for creativity and functionality.
