Workshop Description
Complex Cloth Intensive
The workshop introduces participants to the principles of Complex Cloth – white fabric which is layered through the use of multiple surface patterning techniques. This includes the use of dyes and discharging agents, textile paints and foils. The media are applied using tools generated in the workshop. There is an emphasis on tool making and each participant creates a series of stamps. stencils and silk-screens which are then used to produce the layered and patterned surface. The workshop goal is the mastery of technique and the creation of tools. Discussion on studio set-up, safety and design development round out the week.
