MUNG LAR LAM
ROCKY MOUNTAIN COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGNThe swatches are a good assortment and fantastic quality for students to learn.
Katrina Healey
OTIS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGNConcise, well presented, easy to comprehend. It's a fabulous book. I am redesigning our curriculum around this book
BETH ABARAVICH
OTIS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGNIt is succinct. This book has information that students really need and is presented without too many technical details that can overwhelm the beginner student. The layering of fabrics and lack of color allows students to easily compare structures and fibers. The photos are modern and are fashion forward.
