ExTex 3 - 2nd session. Making printing blocks from their designs.
A fab page from one of the sketchbooks. Apologies for being a bit behind with this blog, I was being a student my self this week - on a course with Gwen Hedley - FANTASTIC! I feel as though I have found my path again. It's time I stopped writing books and started creating work. So - The second sessions of Experimental Textiles went well, all the students came back!!! That was a good start - and with such fabulous homework and a good start on their sketchbooks. The homework was to take one design created on the first session and make a collage in black and white, maybe playing with counter change or inlay applique. These are just a few of the beautiful samples that were produced for homework. This flipped and mirrored design was turned into applique and then mirrored blocks were cut. The prints from these blocks worked really well and I will show them at the end of the month when the groups meet again with the rest of the fabulous prints.
