We all had to bring in an item of clothing that has some sort of texture or
surface in it! example fur, knit, plastic, organza, then we got into groups and
placed each material on the mannequin placing different textures together, we
drew thumbnail sections and these could be further explored with colour media and
photocopying later, this is where our design work came from!
We have to design 20-30 fabric swatches 20x20 exploring fabric manipulation
techniques, textiles and using a combination of fabrics and ways of dying them!
We picked two colours from our source material above, that is our colour story,
usually I love working with a variety of colours so I thought this would be
hard but it wasn’t, I am enjoying working with different shades of the two
colours which I can only explore in my swatches!
After we have these 20-30 done we then pick our most successful 8 and remake
them using same or different materials but on a smaller scale of 12x12! After
this we have to mount them and give a brief presentation on why we choose those
techniques and materials, what surfaces and textures we were trying to create…
