Experimental Textiles
Exploring innovative approaches to working with textiles, this course includes natural dyeing using rust and indigo and using batik onto these dyed surfaces.
Sessions using an embellishing machine which works like a sewing machine but does not use thread. Barbed needles go up and down and fuse fibres together in a dry-felting process giving the user the ability to create new fabrics and sculptural surfaces using all manner of materials.
An introduction to free-machine embroidery, and using free-machine embroidery with water-soluble fabric to create new surfaces.
Making a small creative sketchbook during the ten weeks using the samples of work created during the sessions
