Experiments with architecture and pattern
Continuing with the theme the 1st years explore movement,shape,scale,texture and distribution.
and subconsciously making design decisions that will translate into less obvious textile outcomes.
Second year Yak Yarn project with Tengri
We love working with industry!
Here the 2nd year students get a fabulous introduction to an unusual yarn,and a fabulous project, from Tengri.
Catching our eye as we walk the studio
Exciting,interesting and diverse work is being explored in both the 2nd and 3rd year studios.It’s great to walk around and absorb the passion,energy and vitality.
Colour adapted from historical reference
Embracing colour full on the students take context from historical reference.
Using this information they will experiment with distribution and quantity of colour use.
Professional standards
The 3rd years step up to the mark and produce work of industry standard.
They will spend this academic year honing their skills to produce a professional portfolio ready for the commercial world.
Here Cat is discussing her working painting for print.
When mark meets colour
and now the sensitivity of mark marking and the use of colour are combined to explore future possibilities in textile design.
The first year will continue to look,particularly at texture,scale and backgrounds, to develop their personal hand signature.
Understanding
We believe that a really good grasp and understanding of colour basics allows the student to realise and create their own colour identity.It’s then that the student starts to think ‘what if I…..’?
The rules begin to be broken and new and exciting trends start to emerge.
Not only do students gain confidence in their ability they also become independent, secure in the knowledge that, if they get lost, they can always go back to the beginning and reinvent.It’s a magical time.
