This course introduces students already familiar with the screen printing process, to disperse dye printing with inks and papers, to further develop their skills and knowledge within the textiles discipline. Through demonstrations and practical approaches, students will explore a range of processes and learn how to gather, edit and explore relevant research. Students will be able to combine screen printing skills developed from the Printed Textiles course with these new techniques, developing personal ideas to create more finished samples.
Materials you will need to bring to the first class:
Initial visual research / inspiration gathered in a folder
Cutting knife / scalpel
Scissors
Masking tape
Mark making materials i.e. pen, nibs, paint brushes of varying sizes, sponges
Apron
In addition to the course fee, students are expected to provide the following list of indicative tools, materials and equipment:
Sketchbook
White paper
Tippex
Scotch magic tape
Fabric (synthetic only and preferably white or pale colours) in a variety of different weights (fine, sheer and heavy) and finishes (matt and shiny)
Glass jars with lids (approx. 5)
Plastic tubs with lids (approx. 2)
Over the class sessions the course will cover:
1. Introduction to disperse dyes and papers.
2 Health and safety.
3. Demonstrations of processes and techniques.
4. Colour exploration and colour mixing.
5. Researching and developing concepts and ideas suitable for the disperse dye techniques.
6. Drawing and sketchbooks.
7. Developing visual imagery for use on screens if appropriate.
8. Exploration of scale, line, texture and pattern
9. Fabric exploration.
10. Developing a personal project and final presentation.
The teaching will be based and delivered in specialist art and design studios or workshops and will typically include a range of practical exercises, introductions to techniques, processes and concepts, and set projects which lead to more focused and personal exploration. Over the course, students’ progress will be monitored and supported by the tutor. Teaching will include practical demonstrations, one to one tuition, group discussions and critiques.
For work required to be undertaken after the class hours are complete, the course tutor will set students a ‘directed study plan’ which can be undertaken without the need for specialist workshops or access to models.
Directed study will include research into a range of suggested artists and their associated movements to engender a contextual awareness. Students are expected to demonstrate how their research has informed their work through annotated sketchbooks, a visual digital journal and practical outcomes.
The Directed Study Plan will include preparing evidence of research and practical work to form an appropriate presentation for assessment.
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
Demonstrate a range of working practices and theoretical methods for recording and developing design ideas, informed by primary and secondary sourced references, suitable for Printed Textile designs, supported by relevant contextual references.
Show a confident and enquiring use of materials and processes, exploring colour, image and pattern, applied to a range of Printed Textile techniques.
Demonstrate a knowledge and judgment in the selecting and editing of appropriate designs, to produce a collection of fabric samples, ready for use within a contemporary fashion or interior context.
