Textile Translations is an inspiration to art - new approaches to mixed media to take your work to another dimension.
Maggie Grey shows how, with basic materials such as gesso, paper and salt, wonderfully textured surfaces can be created.

Whether your interest is in textiles, embroidery, paper crafts, quilting or making books, the clear instructions will give your work a new impetus and direction.
Judy's Note: BONUS - Anyone who buys 'Textile Translations' is welcome to join free online classes. With each copy of this book purchased, is a bookmark giving all the details. The site will be password restricted and passwords will change, so you'll need to have your copy of the book handy when you log in.
The idea is to take some of the techniques in the book to the next level - or beyond. Tuition will mostly centre on group learning through a Yahoo group, with lots of input from Maggie. Hopefully, everyone will post up their work as this is the aspect of a course that has most value.
The classes will begin on 1st November 2008, but you can join at any time.
