52 pages : 21 cm "The process of transforming the flat pattern block into three-dimensional form is an enduring source of inspiration. The rich cultural heritage and evocative language of pattern cutting has stimulated a broad range of contemporary applications. Internationally renowned for her unique visual art practice fusing fashion, art and architecture, curator Lucy Orta was invited by the Crafts Council to select works which engage with pattern cutting on a variety of levels. Looking beyond the garment, Block Party showcases work by international and UK artists and makers who have embraced the interdisciplinary nature of this skill, applying the aesthetics and techniques of pattern cutting to their practice in innovative and unexpected ways."--Page 5 Cover title "A Crafts Council Touring Exhibition"--Colophon Block party / Lucy Orta -- The way we wore, a life in threads (extract) / Robert Elms -- The master tailor / Alan Cannon-Jones -- Tailoring and technology / Bradley Quinn -- Pattern cutting as storytelling : Rohan Cchhabra ; Shelley Fox ; Claudia Losi ; Yinka Shonibare ; Rhian Solomon -- Pattern cutting embraces the future : Philip Delamore ; Suzanne Lee ; Lucy Orta ; Ru
