Explorations in Textiles

Last year, I made the decision to enrol in the Explorations in Textiles course at Littleheath Barn Studios, and I am immensely grateful for this opportunity. My primary objective was to experiment with novel techniques and explore colour in a manner that had not been previously encountered.

The course has provided me with the autonomy to employ colour with boldness and confidence. Although I am mostly self taught, I have attended numerous art workshops, primarily focused on sketching, which had not adequately addressed colour theory.

The second compelling reason for my participation in this course was to gain insights from Liske, the tutor, into various methods of colouring fabric and to consider fabrics as integral components of mixed media. Through a combination of paint, print, dyeing, fabric manipulation, and sketching, I have acquired a wealth of knowledge that has profoundly influenced my artistic endeavours.
