COURSE INFORMATION

 

Meaningful approaches to 'drawing' for textile art

The mark put onto a surface whether paper or cloth can be simply changed by the use of the tool, the media employed or by changing the surface on which you are working. These are the areas that students will initially be investigating both on paper and onto fabric. You will be building, developing and pushing along your ideas, with the introduction of processes and techniques as appropriate. Armed with a collection of possibilities students will be then encouraged to developed their own individual responses on paper and cloth. You will leave the course bursting with ideas for developing your personal expressive voice in textile art.
