I am now in full time filming and editing mode. Whilst I can't make up the time I lost when I had the TIA, I can make sure I don't dilly dally about recording the remaining 5 online workshops for The Experimental Textiles Video Library & Membership. Whilst it is hard work, it will be worth it to get them all up on the website by the end of the month.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I can't tell you how satisfying it is to be able to talk to students online when they ask questions or post their work in the private group attached to each of the workshops. I do a little happy dance when a member posts their work. After years of trying different online teaching platforms, the best one is my own website. Technology has changed so much, it is amazing how much we can now host on our websites. And with the help of <a href="https://www.lukewarmvolcano.com/" target="_blank">David Kelly</a>, my website works well and looks fabulous. I am sitting here, grinning happily while I write this.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> Baubles, Bangles & Beads is the latest workshop to go live. I haven't taught this workshop before. It is rare for me to show you how I create in my own practice. I usually teach basic, creative processes, encouraging you to develop your own ideas and style. I have decided to share a bit more of how I work over the next year.<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">These 3 beautiful bangles have been created by Sue Redhead who has been working with me on the video library since it began. Sue is a quilter but also really enjoys exploring and experimenting with all kinds of media.

Thank you so much lovely girls, this was a fantastic forum.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This year was particularly special for several reasons.

Another reason was being able to catch up with friends I have taught with before and not seen for several years.

We first taught together in 2009 and then 2010 I think and once more until this forum. It's difficult to keep up with the dates as these were pre digital, imagine that, a time when our images weren't date stamped! I am hoping that Mary will be coming to Ireland to teach quite soon and will be able to stay with me for a few days.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBUq8Mu9trHYuZiIryxlhhXT1RYIg2S7O4kg3ivRBvGHMjGMY-lb036BuRHJYoBHJ6R6HxP7sjR85GHu0cx5_V2ujLoCLgK7oXC72zEtGOPt85eIWxwkM8Yw_mG0o-Ax5BcLeKaCLwipz4fYTPrzJxFYc_feQvitNf2pCLPILHNlYYs510McVuxXdKT6tp/s4000/IMG_20230927_075109.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBUq8Mu9trHYuZiIryxlhhXT1RYIg2S7O4kg3ivRBvGHMjGMY-lb036BuRHJYoBHJ6R6HxP7sjR85GHu0cx5_V2ujLoCLgK7oXC72zEtGOPt85eIWxwkM8Yw_mG0o-Ax5BcLeKaCLwipz4fYTPrzJxFYc_feQvitNf2pCLPILHNlYYs510McVuxXdKT6tp/w300-h400/IMG_20230927_075109.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The wondrous Mary Hettmansperger</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiCmEFOhIfGD4R78iyPS8kuSqY7tMP1V_5a6K80SvzL6nLmBxuobopXP2CM04oWOCpVDaHEWQggAoaUbcR8dXqYeHZ3Jcw-zkBoj7cSOOFhkNrjLpgPJnt8LDjdYJp1Lk9R6iKdXmHOUJT5nieFTOI-K0BfY2Vb1JjX92xYP1GHxZx0b26UEtpistzbTEc/s1440/me%20and%20mary.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiCmEFOhIfGD4R78iyPS8kuSqY7tMP1V_5a6K80SvzL6nLmBxuobopXP2CM04oWOCpVDaHEWQggAoaUbcR8dXqYeHZ3Jcw-zkBoj7cSOOFhkNrjLpgPJnt8LDjdYJp1Lk9R6iKdXmHOUJT5nieFTOI-K0BfY2Vb1JjX92xYP1GHxZx0b26UEtpistzbTEc/w300-h400/me%20and%20mary.jpeg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Making the most of taking selfies - Me and Mary</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Another great catch up was with <a href="https://pamdegroot.com/index.html" target="_blank">Pam De Groot</a> from Australia What a powerhouse of an artist.

Whilst they are not thermoplasts, basic curves can be created. I shared this with my group and they were up for the challenge. They were happy to play and see what happened next.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The chosen interfacing was cut to shape and then painted with dilute acrylic. It is important to dilute the acrylic. If the paint is too thick, it will will clog up the glue. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Because these interfacings have a fusible side, the students were able to iron their decorated papers onto the fusible side. If you wanted to foil the non fusible side, you could just iron Bondaweb onto it and then foil that. I think the structures are successful as you have contrast - a plain side and a patterned side. </span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr><tr></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNh-8otsUKxZ1fI8pDAin1r7C9_IewwCKI4kDZM6tz4JjBoQZcVqcHkZ-HE9NRHZTPiNyPQvSx3Coo7v_7mNNWHlC-RxUcBQ0wk9fOX5pDjvyaVZyXmp4SsMEFX0E19s9Hs8ZmCz9XV5ehyqCd5yBkMFwhOhIUsXrU5AEkRuF-42LHO7Q2iAitOy6yt-uC/s4624/20230929_191232.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2604" data-original-width="4624" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNh-8otsUKxZ1fI8pDAin1r7C9_IewwCKI4kDZM6tz4JjBoQZcVqcHkZ-HE9NRHZTPiNyPQvSx3Coo7v_7mNNWHlC-RxUcBQ0wk9fOX5pDjvyaVZyXmp4SsMEFX0E19s9Hs8ZmCz9XV5ehyqCd5yBkMFwhOhIUsXrU5AEkRuF-42LHO7Q2iAitOy6yt-uC/w400-h225/20230929_191232.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Julianne created 2 structures as well as a book cover.<br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr></tr></tbody></table></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is always interesting to work with students who work in other disciplines as well as textiles.

A New Starting Point is a workshop I developed in 2012 when I was playing with old papers and scraps of painted Bondaweb - and of course, a bit of sparkle. The process became a great 1 - 2 day workshop that can be slotted into a 5 day workshop quite nicely. The great thing is your work doesn't have to look like anything, there is no pressure. The torn and layered process creates a great background to print onto. And then you can iron your work onto a heavy interfacing to create boxes, book covers . . more of that tomorrow.<br /></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacghVZMb5UqxvxQPx9Z-m3h3zegpq3nnx_7raVnGEL1VVlpYh8FmDglNG3xGoMoUkuTmQIBMBF1oGAe_10d83HEfy7NNbR7bXOZ2gZc2Oxv8iQ0Z4cIJGDr7xK3G_ebDS4tB9ARwwyFFPkFugYnhbIBByg5LZF5c2LVcWTuA4M__MzpfswWGG9TOcgb-I/s4624/20230928_104515.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4624" data-original-width="2604" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacghVZMb5UqxvxQPx9Z-m3h3zegpq3nnx_7raVnGEL1VVlpYh8FmDglNG3xGoMoUkuTmQIBMBF1oGAe_10d83HEfy7NNbR7bXOZ2gZc2Oxv8iQ0Z4cIJGDr7xK3G_ebDS4tB9ARwwyFFPkFugYnhbIBByg5LZF5c2LVcWTuA4M__MzpfswWGG9TOcgb-I/w225-h400/20230928_104515.jpg" width="225" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Layers of torn paper, card, transfer foil and Hot Spots</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF6VR4XYkEvgrLADgiW6qX2a467qEsXECYmF8S8BMrpQbNGL3vbE2sR0nKR_KIwsAfrK_wOwGO_PGTjGvvck_gsHGKjeJWIba1zMAuA7ZXzW_jFI9PBTeq-_Ip6QWkVZJgXZCYsoYDMDVhlWa8TWAGSJSp_VNDpnyM9veCg4u2dBkd2zr-3rlG5mGIXeh6/s2048/group%20working.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1153" data-original-width="2048" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF6VR4XYkEvgrLADgiW6qX2a467qEsXECYmF8S8BMrpQbNGL3vbE2sR0nKR_KIwsAfrK_wOwGO_PGTjGvvck_gsHGKjeJWIba1zMAuA7ZXzW_jFI9PBTeq-_Ip6QWkVZJgXZCYsoYDMDVhlWa8TWAGSJSp_VNDpnyM9veCg4u2dBkd2zr-3rlG5mGIXeh6/w400-h225/group%20working.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The group working happily away<br /></td></tr></tbody></table></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The 'backgrounds and prettys' process creates luscious layers with lovely torn edges.

Yes, Australia was a long way to go, but it was worth it. There are few opportunities to teach a live 5 day workshop. They can be a challenge, but so rewarding when everything you have planned works out. It is a good test to check you are still capable of developing and delivering quality teaching. Whilst I am a very experienced tutor, you can never take anything for granted. You are only as good as your previous workshop or course.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It was also a great opportunity to catch up with my good friend Nicola Brown (who also lives in Ireland and was also teaching) and tutors Mary Hettmansperger (America) and Pam De Groot (Australia) who I hadn't seen for several years. It was so very, very good to see them again. Plus I finally got to actually meet Dawn Edwards, who I have been friends with on FB for several years. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There will be at least 3 blog posts about the work my group created. The work really was superb. As many of you will be aware, I am awkward to tutor to work with, I don't tell you what you are going to create. I teach processes that will help you develop and create your own work, in your own style.

driving (I find I get a lot of ideas when I am driving), that The
Experimental Textiles Video Library is my version of talking books. If
you have enjoyed using any of my books, then you will certainly enjoy
working through all the workshops in your own time and place, watching
the videos and then getting on with samples and hopefully new work, when
it suits you. Plus you get to engage with me, if you want to. Some people
like to work on their own, others will love to share their images on
the chat groups for each workshop and discuss with others how they are
getting on. The choice is yours.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> The first 2 workshops Bonkers About Bondaweb and Tinkering with Tyvek, are live on the video library, I am just filming A New Starting Point which will be live on Monday, and Baubles, Bangles & Beads will follow soon after. You can see the dates of the roll out of workshops here - <a href="https://www.kimthittichai.com/" target="_blank">https://www.kimthittichai.com/</a><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You are now able to enrol on the website for an extended subscription. If you enrol now, your annual subscription will start on January 1st 2024 - so you will get 4 extra months. All the workshops will be live by December 30th 2023. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you would like to join us on the video library, I have a €50 off coupon for you - just type <b>August 2023 </b>(not in bold) into the coupon box on the pay page and you can subscribe until December 31st 2024 for €300 rather than €350. You will need to be a member of the website to enrol, You can do this on the bottom left of any page of my website. you can enrol or read more about the video library here - <a href="https://www.kimthittichai.com/" target="_blank">https://www.kimthittichai.com/</a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFeP1rzbceBich-dKqHNjpyCD3kJW3O163D1_hUDNeFssZxzJSwL1CXW8vKeHl4DMDsTIYkVHyFt_8BtLW-z0tPT_82amfky5YDUW3pcV54WxThw9mhI8HfFz34z-o_KoIv-X6QoQkQt7gR1QagZ7ncnfJSRNzHyIVm4Xuw00LrgSDU8N0Z5x7yzcy2tIc/s4624/tyvek%20stitch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2604" data-original-width="4624" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFeP1rzbceBich-dKqHNjpyCD3kJW3O163D1_hUDNeFssZxzJSwL1CXW8vKeHl4DMDsTIYkVHyFt_8BtLW-z0tPT_82amfky5YDUW3pcV54WxThw9mhI8HfFz34z-o_KoIv-X6QoQkQt7gR1QagZ7ncnfJSRNzHyIVm4Xuw00LrgSDU8N0Z5x7yzcy2tIc/w400-h225/tyvek%20stitch.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Using Tyvek to raise the surface of your work<br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you would like to ask any questions about the video library, just email me here - <a href="https://www.kimthittichai.com/contact" target="_blank">https://www.kimthittichai.com/contact</a></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I look forward to seeing a few you on The Experimental Textiles Video Library soon.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So that is probably enough for now, except to say, if you have read all the way to the bottom of this post, that yes - there will be a book 5 - more of that when I come back from Australia in October. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Keep well and happy, x<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p>Kim Thittichaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193279689240955131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717333521033896605.post-25910994610436420072023-08-11T15:57:00.000+01:002023-08-11T15:57:38.417+01:00The Festival of Quilts 2023<div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8eEISZ_jzipDLTPOPzqn6WChyxunOd8t2elGJv20_VjWgMU9C6TQDEu6ardA0QtssuQhXNzKiN2yJU6xNrMzF8bEEIpirNgx3DQv74PumkMMu3LcCBkcnbF4VUmDHcHKJggCZrlh3pFehQVRjDmVM5e653QEBWhxttzYSMuLI8soiSyU9G1jFDlWmlTqP/s1343/363850559_1166219397669939_8229129455313175806_n.jpg"><img border="0" data-original-height="1343" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8eEISZ_jzipDLTPOPzqn6WChyxunOd8t2elGJv20_VjWgMU9C6TQDEu6ardA0QtssuQhXNzKiN2yJU6xNrMzF8bEEIpirNgx3DQv74PumkMMu3LcCBkcnbF4VUmDHcHKJggCZrlh3pFehQVRjDmVM5e653QEBWhxttzYSMuLI8soiSyU9G1jFDlWmlTqP/w321-h400/363850559_1166219397669939_8229129455313175806_n.jpg" width="321" /></a></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container"><tbody><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Me on my stand having the best time, </span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">photo by Amanda Duke</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Well I am back - just!

I am teaching at the <a href="https://taftainc.com.au/workshops-2023/kim-thittichai" target="_blank">Geelong Fibre Forum</a>. It is a huge, very well organised event. It will be hard work and very great fun. This will be another amazingly social event. I haven't been in Australia since 2019. It will be wonderful to catch up with friends and students, and several tutors I haven't seen for way too long. This is going to be a very special event on so many levels.

It is important to mark certain changes, particularly one that will affect so many people in the creative textile world in the UK and further afield. <a href="https://www.vycombe-arts.co.uk/onlineshop/" target="_blank">Art Van Go is winding down</a>. All good things must end! <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Art Van Go was started by Viv Arthur in </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">1989. Viv bought herself a van,
filled it with art materials and travelled around the country to
colleges, schools, and textile groups. Her mission? To 'take the art
shop to the artist'. Through travelling the country, meeting artists
from far and wide and building contacts, this led to the need for a
solid base. And so, in 2001, Viv and her partner Kevin, bought the
bricks and mortar shop in Knebworth to be able to connect all the
artists they had met, and continue building the Art Van Go community!</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAOHMJRmZ806Olz2WSfFJ5XMf90Af293En4CJANwMsNDxNZ64eaXYyAtKawrbbqe6pPU9WAcohAPEKkZUg1c0orcu4L2hCwu9150FQ10vGuTwyBq7thVLwfJmGx0XaA3891_9uSqDRTKZflgRtSQYJW3Ldsp7ZnHLExEtKKYh8a4BhH1EEY4_4RYGv5A/s960/artists%20in%20action.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAOHMJRmZ806Olz2WSfFJ5XMf90Af293En4CJANwMsNDxNZ64eaXYyAtKawrbbqe6pPU9WAcohAPEKkZUg1c0orcu4L2hCwu9150FQ10vGuTwyBq7thVLwfJmGx0XaA3891_9uSqDRTKZflgRtSQYJW3Ldsp7ZnHLExEtKKYh8a4BhH1EEY4_4RYGv5A/w400-h300/artists%20in%20action.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The brilliant Art in Action stand at The Knitting & Stitching Shows<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Over
the last 34 years, Art Van Go has become an institution. An
artistic hub for artists from across the U.K and further afield, a workshop space,
gallery, and as described by many visitors to the shop as "a bit of an Aladdin's
cave"! From winning the K&S Show's 'Retailer of the
Year' in 2006, to organising the 'Artist in Action' stands at the shows
themselves, Viv & Kevin and their ever-widening team made a huge impact in the world of textiles, particularly in the world of textile artists and tutors.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is fantastic the Viv and Kevin will very soon be able to make different decisions about what they will do with their days. a bit of relaxed gardening and alot of travelling I suspect, hopefully Ireland is on their list . . </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Viv and Kevin for all their help and kindness over the past years. Viv and Kevin made it easier for textile tutors like myself to teach new and experimental processes. Art Van Go tracked down the supplies we needed to teach others and encourage the use of new techniques and processes with new and mostly unheard of products.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTdYHhf9_gzDq2JV30kkvpjWffO0YzupfL-nJ9-Mlr3ckvUhBxt3HqtxY1Eye28L18ZRIA8x1I1Ye9JOtxYEDZ9VWUBMSJ3Js3Bvh9Okd-2c58apgnYkPum0MvVlrU41LFmdc557DpifVHcf25VilpYb3oCX-Z0IZ-Z1uLiwNGXQ6M7X0NEc7vj2StWg/s3840/DSC_0068.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2160" data-original-width="3840" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTdYHhf9_gzDq2JV30kkvpjWffO0YzupfL-nJ9-Mlr3ckvUhBxt3HqtxY1Eye28L18ZRIA8x1I1Ye9JOtxYEDZ9VWUBMSJ3Js3Bvh9Okd-2c58apgnYkPum0MvVlrU41LFmdc557DpifVHcf25VilpYb3oCX-Z0IZ-Z1uLiwNGXQ6M7X0NEc7vj2StWg/w400-h225/DSC_0068.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A lively workshop in the Art Van Go studio<br /></td></tr></tbody></table> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0PeYjysGUx-jotA1bY_cK9B21M7efRqSkMhbKPW23HbumB4llcDSixHR9ULEi6RWYQ0_hwxW87bDULTpebuX29ugDKHrVMgpE-J7YybcyjWgzB9cp1pjhN0QP4QJk0D8LLHa_arRrVmusbGHexN8V68cYXxwm-WA0d5OsZ_ckClQWyc44b_1LsTwHvg/s3264/DSC_2571.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0PeYjysGUx-jotA1bY_cK9B21M7efRqSkMhbKPW23HbumB4llcDSixHR9ULEi6RWYQ0_hwxW87bDULTpebuX29ugDKHrVMgpE-J7YybcyjWgzB9cp1pjhN0QP4QJk0D8LLHa_arRrVmusbGHexN8V68cYXxwm-WA0d5OsZ_ckClQWyc44b_1LsTwHvg/w400-h300/DSC_2571.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We were always offered chocolates with afternoon tea<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Art Van Go also created a fabulous teaching space where we could spread the love of textiles.

And now, of course, we can now teach online, anywhere in the world.

I have taught The Journey exercise all over the world, and now with Zoom I am able to teach live workshops anywhere. I 'met' Janyi Bloch on a live Zoom workshop I was delivering for a textile group in Canada that she belonged to. It is amazing to be able to teach a group in real time, just in a different place. I know it will never replace face to face teaching, but it does save a long flight!!</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is always interesting to see what students develop after a workshop, and very occasionally, a student just blows your mind!! When I saw what Jayni had created from her Journey exercise, I knew I had to share it far and wide.

guild is to bring together members who learn, share, teach, and
participate in workshops, talks, and demonstrations relating to a wide

I find these very worthwhile, both for the students and myself. It gives the group a chance to develop the samples they created on the workshop and I can see what they have been working on.

When I taught 'in person' we would create a huge pile of fibres, paper, yarns, fabrics and plastics in the middle of a huge table and the group would take what they thought would work for them. We always concentrated on interesting texture rather than weaving techniques. It is quite possible to create something rather special with simple techniques and interesting materials.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The work in the first 5 images in this post was created by Shaun West in 2013. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">All you need to weave, is a grid or a warp. With recycled cardboard packaging that is sliced in regular intervals it becomes quite possible to stretch it out and weave into it. Choosing to weave with painted and printed recycled newspaper keeps to a muted colour pallette. This way you can enjoy all the texture and not be distracted by a lot of colour.</span> <br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCcSTw2jbagNpVjLpjTsMSUy_5MQ-hjIH9L6yY1VOf5FJ7qBuoVHYiqfFl89XDrxhnHAtMOV1YrD4uOt1IJoQKYFUcWmEGhJ0m8ckD5ZDzaN8H7anK0FPavwYRd33944Dw7W4zrWw5WOFWDFFPTSOi2lL-io7PGhOVtARfzcoROIR7Gm5OyoYdwrEEA/s1734/336613581_757025232769848_1577318519644714008_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1734" data-original-width="977" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCcSTw2jbagNpVjLpjTsMSUy_5MQ-hjIH9L6yY1VOf5FJ7qBuoVHYiqfFl89XDrxhnHAtMOV1YrD4uOt1IJoQKYFUcWmEGhJ0m8ckD5ZDzaN8H7anK0FPavwYRd33944Dw7W4zrWw5WOFWDFFPTSOi2lL-io7PGhOVtARfzcoROIR7Gm5OyoYdwrEEA/w225-h400/336613581_757025232769848_1577318519644714008_n.jpg" width="225" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> In this detail you can more easily see the print and hand stitch - by Shaun West</span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZy-ISp0Mx8QxRxxsgvHRHRogdnCHs5KiWut1HUgSarjUjJ4GtqGz4gItgq1EOrgARbi8ffmO-__IcX1V0ew8lhJuEi4o1YFuYE83giS4hSPOFWMsnJnTrVZTIC5urgabRfLBZwFCVYftBkdHD1OxJCDKHwK8_h3PR5qZkaqKro81NLae9k4MV7_cdpw/s1734/336546812_1274896526705773_3072349987497106172_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1734" data-original-width="977" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZy-ISp0Mx8QxRxxsgvHRHRogdnCHs5KiWut1HUgSarjUjJ4GtqGz4gItgq1EOrgARbi8ffmO-__IcX1V0ew8lhJuEi4o1YFuYE83giS4hSPOFWMsnJnTrVZTIC5urgabRfLBZwFCVYftBkdHD1OxJCDKHwK8_h3PR5qZkaqKro81NLae9k4MV7_cdpw/w225-h400/336546812_1274896526705773_3072349987497106172_n.jpg" width="225" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This piece is made entirely by weaving printed and painted newspaper - Shaun West</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA8bA4ztnEr5XuVOW3KA9RAgBWnHLkmqxq5s9n1ng2tf0MyxWnHUl_d2I49WCXMCTTDne3vBERVDLbjLr9vmrIjUVJAdXnr-wX-V8RmIQDWBk2Ov7oqYUxEYQvSr5Uer87ljdzo10TxDjFs5V3wscLNDg2G23SHMkWlfEYO2S6UieclvszzKKy86hzKQ/s1734/336603194_1671460449974155_974095115823086319_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1734" data-original-width="977" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA8bA4ztnEr5XuVOW3KA9RAgBWnHLkmqxq5s9n1ng2tf0MyxWnHUl_d2I49WCXMCTTDne3vBERVDLbjLr9vmrIjUVJAdXnr-wX-V8RmIQDWBk2Ov7oqYUxEYQvSr5Uer87ljdzo10TxDjFs5V3wscLNDg2G23SHMkWlfEYO2S6UieclvszzKKy86hzKQ/w225-h400/336603194_1671460449974155_974095115823086319_n.jpg" width="225" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Weaving

The cuts are smaller and more regular and paper is more fragile to work with than the cardboard. But it is still possible to weave into, if you are careful . . </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> Jane Wolfe created this beautiful wall piece. Weaving into the paper was a fabulous idea. Using neutral threads and other media to weave with also a great idea. But to twist the whole piece and make it 3D really made it sing. I appreciate I may be biased as I love working in 3D.</span><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEXoeSDFjf1PywbZYAyg0KZ-j-JlAerr3GZ_kLXDSX0JY5n4i4yUGvi0qJezZoDO7dhsh4V9oUx_B3MGGxHsvdxZqMsw1T12vUJKnB4PQMww5e2ohRi-2JHFQytMZbpgj5KOZDVgtDU5BtkuTEMAshNjw6nE6QW4e2pSnZfPodlds9HCI7dfLOPFlQ4Q/s4032/IMG_8113.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEXoeSDFjf1PywbZYAyg0KZ-j-JlAerr3GZ_kLXDSX0JY5n4i4yUGvi0qJezZoDO7dhsh4V9oUx_B3MGGxHsvdxZqMsw1T12vUJKnB4PQMww5e2ohRi-2JHFQytMZbpgj5KOZDVgtDU5BtkuTEMAshNjw6nE6QW4e2pSnZfPodlds9HCI7dfLOPFlQ4Q/s4032/IMG_8113.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEXoeSDFjf1PywbZYAyg0KZ-j-JlAerr3GZ_kLXDSX0JY5n4i4yUGvi0qJezZoDO7dhsh4V9oUx_B3MGGxHsvdxZqMsw1T12vUJKnB4PQMww5e2ohRi-2JHFQytMZbpgj5KOZDVgtDU5BtkuTEMAshNjw6nE6QW4e2pSnZfPodlds9HCI7dfLOPFlQ4Q/w300-h400/IMG_8113.jpg" width="300" /></a> <br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmrKdZ9HKsl5Kj68sQbtbeGRgEBx5I2DF7qcvj7gxPt91IHUZRP7MqicTvJqNubWCsI5HV0zsAYOYU_Q5EH8j53gytfVssI08hSx12dAitaBcvJVGgK6R23pUfDmUTGa4NDcX5mNXkYhehs2Fe33aLS55zGLQ4DibEoomKtxKPvw1Fc7zf3iaxYeMdAg/s4032/IMG_8114.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmrKdZ9HKsl5Kj68sQbtbeGRgEBx5I2DF7qcvj7gxPt91IHUZRP7MqicTvJqNubWCsI5HV0zsAYOYU_Q5EH8j53gytfVssI08hSx12dAitaBcvJVGgK6R23pUfDmUTGa4NDcX5mNXkYhehs2Fe33aLS55zGLQ4DibEoomKtxKPvw1Fc7zf3iaxYeMdAg/w300-h400/IMG_8114.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGZLsqhGHb9QIhNpOX4SlyxyaUFUjShvjs_pRhZKLRbnDBC-8PU7PHJUALw2sfLwqpoJ8txDPpzW3J62wm8jBWcWzTlKSvCPpb2eMvqJEHqDcsOIXzyrSDGg_fsj4or4wP7x4xMtX4htvsucqu6uZXJBnRSyxvhXFAmi7MMl8rwfN5KqtRvxfK2MzZ0A/s4032/IMG_8115.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGZLsqhGHb9QIhNpOX4SlyxyaUFUjShvjs_pRhZKLRbnDBC-8PU7PHJUALw2sfLwqpoJ8txDPpzW3J62wm8jBWcWzTlKSvCPpb2eMvqJEHqDcsOIXzyrSDGg_fsj4or4wP7x4xMtX4htvsucqu6uZXJBnRSyxvhXFAmi7MMl8rwfN5KqtRvxfK2MzZ0A/w300-h400/IMG_8115.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Circular woven piece by Jane Wolf</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I hope you have enjoyed seeing these woven pieces, They might give you a few ideas . . . .<br /> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p></p>Kim Thittichaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193279689240955131noreply@blogger.com0
