Description
This is a great design project that produces a number of different designs within a whole piece…almost effortlessly ! The day will be spent looking at your design source in some detail and incorporates a number of colour media to achieve some great effects.
The completed designs can then be colour copied at home onto fabric and/or stitched into directly, enlarged on a copier and then produced in fabric. Possibilities are endless.
The first seven books pictured here were the results produced from the workshop at the studio, by the RAWEdge artists for their Natural Progression Exhibition in 2018, and were the starting point for their individual bodies of work– they started with the same exercise in the studio and generated a whole body of work centered around their one source of inspiration.
We had fungi, lemons, mushrooms, sea urchins and flowers. If in doubt bring a selection of flowers – they work brilliantly with the koh I noor inks you use with me on the day.
The first part of the day will be spent painting – then sectioning off areas before hand stitching if you so wish.
