What I saw today

My contribution to collective art is in this photo: 

This lovely building is an art gallery in a historically-interesting building.

By the way, the oval sign by the door is: 

No, I don’t know who Josiah Lamborn was. Maybe “nobody”, maybe only important because he commissioned this house from W.H. Weeks who was quite the influential architect. (The J.L. listed in wikipedia might have been this man’s grandfather or great grandfather; was the prosecutor in Illinois case of conspiracy to murder Mormon Joe Smith. But that’s a whole ‘nuther story ... )

Block Printing - Colouricious fabric design workshop

Would you and your textile group like to learn how to block print your own fabric? Jamie Malden MA BEd Hons is a textile tutor and has been teaching for over 30 years. Her passion is block printing and teaching. She is happy to travel any where and everywhere to teach groups how to use the Colouricious Wooden Printing Blocks to design unique fabric. These fabrics are wonderful for a wide selection of sewing projects. Look at the image below to be inspired to see what you can make with fabric that you have designed. All the printing blocks have been hand carved in India – have a look at the fascinating history of block printing

You can book a one, two or three day Colouricious block printing workshop.

Day One is learning all about the basics of block printing using pattern theory, composition and layering. All words that seem complicated but are very easy once you know how!

Day Two – you will learn how to combine the art of stencils and block printing accompanied by skills you learnt on day one of layering.

Day Three – takes you another step forward to learn the art of gelli printing – generally as a back ground, which then you will develop your own block printing style.

If this art form excites you, then all you have to do is contact Jamie Malden at [email protected] to book your group

My final piece for the First year was greatly influenced by nature. Elements have been taken from the ocean and the earth to be more exact. I used weaving as my main technique as i believed that it has a very rural feel to it. I used earth tone colours to keep the theme and blues to include the theme of nature. I really like how the mixed textiles weaves turned out as they showcase a variety of textures and structure.

Felting is one of my least favourite techniques for a few reasons however I really liked how this piece turned out. I started out with creating a piece of felt which had a mix of blues, purples and whites. I then created a larger plain red piece as a base. I cut up the blue piece into smaller abstract pieces and felted them to the red base. I also felted silk yellow and dark blue thread into the red felt as well. To finish off the piece I machine embroidered over the blue felt pieces to make them stand out. I felt that orange would contrast with the blue piece but connect well with the red felt. I really like how the blue parts of the felt look like gems.
