Moving through the skills with the 1st yrs.
This week machine knit,crochet, macrame and with hand knit soon to follow.
Lots more techniques as the weeks unfold.
Interpreting their 3D referencing and utilising traditional techniques it will be very exciting to see the contemporary update.
Lets get inventive and creative.
The making skills started yesterday.Manipulation through macrame.
Macramé or macrame is a form of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting. Its primary knots are the square knot and forms of “hitching”: full hitch and double half hitches.
The 1st yr creative story progresses.Beautiful prints and gorgeous yarns and surfaces are emerging
Preparing a twig ‘yarn’ to compliment the print.
Preparing components.Just out of the dye bath
Yarn to act as bridging or joining features between fabrics
Walking around the 1st yr studio I see the initial stitch concepts develop and take shape.
That's What I Want To Do
