{"product_id":"9781849943444","title":"Experimental Corsets : Inspiration and techniques for wearable and sculptural garments by Val Holmes","description":"An exploration of the corset as a motif for textile artists, with practical tips and examples.    Used for the last 400 years to contort the female body into a variety of fashionable silhouettes, the corset has become a fascinating and hugely popular motif for modern textile artists who wish to represent the female body using the largely feminine traditions of textile and stitch.    Beginning with a step-by-step guide to constructing a simple fabric corset, the book goes on to explore more contemporary and experimental approaches to construction, from using unusual materials such as lace, metal, paper and found fibres to up-cycling or repurposing existing garments to make a statement.  This practical guide is full of exercises for creating intimate garments and wearable art in two- and three-dimensions and is packed with inspiring work and installations by other contemporary artists.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313082839413,"sku":"9781849943444","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781849943444.jpg?v=1762825306","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781849943444","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
