Pattern: Rhythm and Colour on Textiles
Jan

to Feb 2

Pattern: Rhythm and Colour on Textiles

Now booking here

Three days of immersion in the rhythm and colour of patterns for textiles! Together we’ll be exploring, investigating and looking at patterns - how they work and why we love them. Students will be making designs, painting on both paper and fabrics, developing their own language and collection of textile patterns from the simplest rhythms to more complex design structures and colour harmonies.

Sarah will bring many references to look at and discuss, mainly from her own extensive archive of work. We will have access to the book about the archive The Collier Campbell Archive, 2012 and also her recent book HandPainted Textiles, 2023 published by Bloomsbury, Herbert Press.

Open to all - no previous experience necessary

The Mark of The Hand
Mar
8
to Mar 10

The Mark of The Hand

A 3-day weekend course exploring Pattern & Painting on Textiles.
In this course we'll be looking at the rhythms and structures of pattern and how they work; as examples for discussion and possible inspiration, Sarah will show a variety of patterns and designs, drawn largely from her own collection of both her printed and hand-painted textiles.

Course-work begins with purposeful mark-making on paper, with an emphasis on developing an intuitive sense of rhythm and pattern.

We'll be able to practice various techniques for painting on cotton, calico and linen- mark-making, freehand painting, stencils, potato prints, tapes, masks - as well as considering pattern placement and colour. During the course students are encouraged to develop their own ideas, painting directly onto fabric and building a personal language of pattern and colour with the aim of making pieces to wear, hang, sit on, to sew into and embellish, or simply as reference.

Sarah will demonstrate techniques throughout. 

No experience is necessary, open to all...
