Dyeing For Entertainment: Dyeing, Painting, Breakdown and Special Effects for Costumes

"Dyeing for Entertainment is an exceptional resource and a reason to place an immediate order when building a technical library. Carignan's expertise, combined with her accessible writing style and comprehensive coverage of techniques and materials, makes this book an invaluable tool."

Mallory Prucha, Associate Professor of Costume Design, Texas Tech University

"Carignan has covered 90+% of what I've needed to know and do as a dyer for performance costumes... The book may be worth the cost of purchase for the appendices alone. I'm thrilled to adopt it as the new required text for my next dye class."

La Bricoleuse, Rachel Pollak, Professional Crafts Artisan and Professor at UNCChappel Hill
