SEMESTER 2_ TEXTILES
This semester during the support module I will be developing my skills within the print room. As for most of my time spent at uni I specialised in fashion construction, I hadn't really had much experience in the textiles room except from the initial introductory textiles support module. This module will be a good opportunity to become familiar with the processes used, and also learn new skills.
The trend I chose to base this project on was the WGSN trend Monumental. From this I took elements of rock structure, manmade vs nature, texture and luxury fabrics to develop and create a print collection from. I began my research from looking at rock structures and gem stones, and the colour palette between them. I stared with painting on the screen, exploring the colours mixed together and tried to accurately paint a gem stone cut in half. It was difficult to get the colours similar- I was using acid dye, and they came out nothing like the colour stated. It was trial and error to get a successful colour palette.
I was also interested on using natural materials such as furs and leathers, and manipulating them to produce interesting surfaces.
I wish to carry on developing my skills through out this module. Its difficult to do many processes as the ventilation does not work, so its limited. However this means we can be more innovative and push the boundaries of print.
My aim is to create prints for fashion, and my outcome would be part of a garment, showing how my prints and surfaces go together.
