The success of the workshop ‘The Message is in the Medium’ held in March has prompted Claire to expand it into a 4 day summer school. The extra 2 days will give even more time to develop ideas and experiment with textile techniques.
The course will explore the possibilities of incorporating a message within a textile piece. We will develop ideas, which convey a message through the use of imagery, layers, shape, the written word and textile techniques e.g. hand and machine stitch, mono and low tech screen print.
We will examine how a variety of media and techniques can be used to communicate a message and lead you to new starting points for your textile work.
You will work individually, but with strong support from Claire and will have a chance to discuss and share ideas with the rest of the group. There will be machine stitch and other technical demonstrations throughout the week.
Some materials will be supplied, a list of ‘things and thoughts to bring’ will be sent after booking a place.
This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience.
