Started!

Yes, we started our first People's Print Project at the V&A yesterday, nine enthusiastic participants all from interesting backgrounds sharing a love of pattern, history and social textiles. Emma set the scene with an inspiring presentation on the Post Modernism movement and its significance and I delivered a tool box on how to create a Post Modernist textile collection using hand and digital methods of design. Focusing on Memphis textile designer Nathalie Du Pasquier we looked at ways to generate high energetic graphic patterns beginning with simple collage and drawn techniques ready to scan in for week 2.
