Ready to translate

into constructed, embroidered or printed outcomes but first into the dye room to prepare the fabrics and into the studio to make the yarns.Can’t wait to see how the students will tackle this.

Two opinions

photo-16Gathering in the work produced by the 1st yrs. It’s fascinating to see totally different ways to explore colour.Here are two examples,each exciting in their own right. We have been lucky enough to have been joined by students from the Idea, Material and Object(3D Design)course. They have benefitted from exploring drawing and colour alongside textile students and the textile students have gained by looking at projects through different eyes.Win,win! After Christmas we translate this research into printed,embroidered or constructed outcomes. Keep an eye on this site to be the first to see the imaginative and innovative responses to this initial research. photo-17
