Simply Design

TUTOR: LOIS PARISH EVANS

A technique class where we will use a leaf shape as inspiration and explore ways of creating a simple design, extending the design in different directions, and ultimately creating multiple designs.

The aim of the workshop is to create a series of design samples that can be referenced at a later date for textile/quilting pieces. We will discuss and explore ways of using them in textile artworks.

Techniques and Outcomes:

  • Participants will learn simple design development, from inspiration to an executable design.
  • Learn and explore ways of using designs created from the workshop in textile artwork.
  • Using one design we will create a small textile piece.

No art or design experience necessary.
