MAKING ART WITH TEXTILES
In the ‘Textile Art’ Workshop participants are both stitchers and artists for the day and will be facilitated to develop skills to design and compose a naive, abstract or figurative artwork using textiles. Subjects for the artwork will very individual and of personal choice however themes can include; A still life; A land/sea/city/scape; Architectural building/s or facial or bodyline/s (animal or human)
Participants will be guided to work with their creative intuition and assisted to make decisions to construct a layered and textured background; explore raw edge applique techniques; deconstruct printed fabrics; repurpose old linen and bric-a-brac; draw with a sewing machine (free motion machine drawing) and explore naïve stitching techniques.
It’s a fun and explorative workshop; most students find the process inspiring and liberating and will have a nearly finished product by the end of the day.
