Turn fabric into paint-without sewing a single seam.

Discover Kinusaiga, the remarkable Japanese no-sew fabric-picture craft in which cloth becomes colour, texture and atmosphere. Kinusaiga: The Complete Guide takes you far beyond a simple introduction. Clara Fenmere combines the documented history of Kinusai-ga with a complete practical course in choosing materials, cutting clean grooves, controlling fabric, solving common problems and creating polished textile pictures of your own.

Inside you will discover:

  • 20 progressive step-by-step projects designed to build your skills
  • 10 additional patterns for continued practice and inspiration
  • How to choose and test foundations, fabrics, tools and adhesives
  • Techniques for clean grooves, curves, corners, points and junctions
  • How to use colour, value, pattern and fabric direction effectively
  • Practical solutions for fraying, bulk, awkward sections and other common problems
  • Professional approaches to finishing, framing, displaying and caring for your work
  • A complete method for designing original Kinusaiga patterns of your own
Beginning with forgiving designs and progressing to more sophisticated compositions, the projects develop both practical technique and creative judgement.

Whether you are discovering Kinusaiga for the first time, looking for new ways to use treasured fabric scraps, or want to develop your own textile artwork, this is a guide you can return to project after project.

Learn the technique. Understand the fabric. Create pictures that are truly your own.
