Fabulous Fabric Art With Lutradur

Explore the world of Lutradur, the fabulously versatile non-woven fabric that looks, feels, and folds like translucent paper, but doesn't tear or fray.

In Fabulous Fabric Art with Lutradur , author Lesley Riley teaches how to add luminous color and exotic, lacy effects to art quilts, fabric books or altered books, and mixed-media art, in a series of 14 projects that introduce 27 different techniques.

Simply put, Lutradur is "the magic in the middle," Riley says.

It's a versatile cross between fabric and paper, with the body of paper and the strength of fabric.

Lutradur's open, airy structure absorbs paint, ink, image transfers, and more, creating a surface that filters light, yet has body and retains its shape.

Because it's thermoplastic, Lutradur changes when heated, producing the kind of organic and artistic effects that fiber and mixed-media artists love.

Lutradur is an excellent surface to stitch, stamp, stencil, felt, and embellish.

Join Lesley Riley as she teaches how to sew, paint, print, stencil, stamp, pleat, dye, distress, draw, sculpt, weave, bead, and die-cut using Lutradur.
