A diversion - summer school 2018 follow up

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at summer school. Meeting Sian for the first time and the other students who made me so welcome. Bobby Britnell was so inspiring.  I looked at line in a very different way than I had before. Some of the tasks were daunting, but eventually I got to grips with mono-printing onto small pieces of fabric.

When I returned home, I repeated the paper exercises directly into a sketch book exploring some of the effects, consolidating my new skills.  I particularly enjoyed the exercise combining sections from different mono-prints then joining them with a different texture.

My mono-prints directly onto fabric had varying success, but these are four of my favourites:

Mono-print 1	Mono-print 2
Mono-print 3	Mono-print 4

I enjoyed these explorations with line, masks and shading that I then used a similar technique with the shape I have been using in the work for Module One.  At some point I shall use these design ideas with layers of fabric and stitch. 

I think that is me caught up with the extent of work from July & August 2018.  Now it is time to get on with the next section of Module One.
