‘Mid Century Inspired Gel Plate Patterns’ with Lucy Perry*New 2026

£85

Description

The workshops will explore repeat patterns using paper stencils, simplified motifs inspired by Mid Century (c.1950’s) textiles and art, devising colour palettes and ideas about producing a cohesive fabric collection. We will discuss colour mixing and the layering of motifs. Fabric samples produced will be the same size as the gel plate you use and suitable for a range of sewing and craft projects.
Lucy is a painter and printmaker inspired by nature whose work celebrates colour and pattern. She has been an art educator since the mid – 90’s and is currently studying for an MA in Textile Design.
