Nancy BelferBatik and Tie Dye Techniques (Dover Crafts: Weaving & Dyeing)

Excellent guide to techniques and materials.

Excellent, authoritative and comprehensive.

I bet the tie dye in the book would be better if the pictures weren't in black and white. Some of the techniques are a little dated. I was hoping to find a book that gave more direction on how to tie garments of different size and variety to achieve certain types of styles. This book has some great historical information on tie dye. Good addition to my home library.

I love textile art and this is a wonderful addition to my library. A couple of new ideas and techniques for me to try out.The book has enough technique descriptions that I recently leant it to a former student for her to use as reference while teaching her first class.

Nice

Discussion of the history of batik is very through, unfortunately, that is not what I was looking for. Also, photos are black and white, and not easy to follow.The section discussion how to batik is relatively small compared to the material in the book, and not easy to follow, as the photos are black and white and somewhat small. I recommend Creative Batik over this book, if you want to learn how to batik.

Very nice product.

When I received this book I was extremely disappointed to see that ALL the illustrations were black and white. The book is about batik and tie dye, two textiles techniques that are all about COLOUR, yet the entire book is black and white. Could the author/publishers not afford to print in colour? The information is good, but written in a technical manner that I soon got bored with. The book did not make me get excited about batik or tie dye. I would never have spent money on this book if I had seen it in a store.

This book explains all the techniques nicely in a step by step manner and that helps to understand the process. The book is in black and white ....not colour....this is the biggest disappointment for me 😒

A comprehensive, interesting book, but seems more like an academic thesis than a DYI handicrafts book: written in essay-style, with few, black-and-white pictures and no step-by-step photos.I would recommend it for someone who is interested in learning more about dye tie techniques, but not necessarily as a fun way to take it up as a hobby.

The book 'Batik and Tie dyeing techniques' is a great help to a novice of Tie Dyeing, it is also a fascinating book and I have enjoyed wevery moment of it.

Very good itam

A great source of techniques for those wanting to expand their batik repertoire. It isn't full of glossy step by step pictures, more like an excellent source of technical information.It will be really helpful me.
