STREET CREATIVITY is imaginative problem solving through the use of the things that happen to be at hand. This book celebrates these inventive acts by bringing together more than a thousand examples spotted over the last twenty years.These creative acts are raw creativity, mostly by untrained designers at zero or very little cost, tackling problems in ingenious ways and featuring highly original uses of objects and surroundings. The book inspires readers to see and use things in new and smarter ways by revealing original and exciting new perspectives.John Ingledew’s wonderfully undisciplined approach to creativity has seen him work with photography, printmaking, typography, textiles, ceramics and collage, as well as teaching art and design. INSPIRED! is his seventh book, previous titles include How to Have Great Ideas and The A–Z of Visual Ideas. He is visiting Professor at the University of West London.

from 82 reviewsMy mind is blown - the details about the details. The number of people involved and the sharing of talent and inspiration. I honestly was not aware of this Red Dress. I hope somewhere, sometime, I get to see the dress in person - up close so my old eyes can really see. joanell -
This is more than a book about a dress, it's an oral history told in stitches. What stands out is how many voices get space: embroiderers from Egypt to Kosovo to Rwanda, telling their own stories alongside Kirstie Macleod's. Genuinely powerful to see it connect craft, healing, and community across so many countries in one project.
I love it. It´s a wonderful resource of inspiration.
Fletcher's writing is genuine and thoughtful, an interesting perspective on a familiar topic.
The book is amazing and I am looking forward to reading it in detail. The only issue is the smell of the ink, which is so strong I can't handle the book for long because it nearly makes me ill. I am not sure what was used to print this book but please-change printers!
Beautifully inspiring book for many techniques for re using fabric scraps,ideal for slow stitchers,and those who are interested in scrap crafting,or up cycling garments,including sashiko techniques.Lots of different ideas and step by step stitch instructions.This is a book to add to your stitching collection,to refer to again and again

Très beau livre rédigé en anglais, mais les photos et explications permettent de suivre avec beaucoup de facilité
Very inspiring book. I’ve been wanting to try out botanical printing and this gives me all the information I need. I’ve taken a few courses with Sue in the past and she’s always been a great teacher. This book is no exception. Very happy to have it in my collection.
Love it.
Sue’s instructions are very clear and her overall presentation is vary inspiring
