Using a range of folding formats and shapes to clamp the cloth, discover itajime clamp resist. We will look at this process in relation to the Japanese art of clamp resist and contemporary makers working with these techniques and go on to exploit the properties of specific fabrics, patterning them in geometric shapes. Procion dyes will be used to resist dye cotton, and soda ash resist to degum silk.

S4DO7869 Growing an idea - developing a personal vocabulary for textiles
The aim of the course is to provide a framework for the progression of ideas and approaches developed from an existing research base of your own.  It is an opportunity for creative development: to ‘grow’ and distil an idea and develop a personal repertoire of textile-related surface treatments using simple print processes, manipulation and assemblage involving hand or machine stitch.

Dates: 14.5.18- 18.5.18
Venue: West Dean College, Nr Chichester, West Sussex, PO18 0QZ

VTA180B Fabric Manipulation; Print and heat setting

Explore folding, pleating, stitching, crumpling and crushing, together with heat setting processes to reshape the fabric surface into textured 2D surfaces or more 3D structures. This will include the making of a 2 part origami mould. As the work progresses, you will be introduced to ideas of enhancing the form using colour through simple and immediate methods of printing and hand painting, creating a range of samples with a variety of potential applications.

Dates: 9/6 2018 - 30/6/ 2018, Sats for 4 sessions
Time: 10:00 - 16:00

Between the Folds; concealing and revealing

Explore methods of mark making on fabrics, then experiment with structure and surface using origami and shibori techniques

Start by experimenting with methods of marking your surface using sublimation printing  and disperse dyes through using rubbings, stencils, drawing, painting and collage techniques, foiling, and photographic transfer. Continue your exploration of concealing/revealing as you structure, texturise and shape your printed surfaces using methods such as pleating, folding, crumpling, crushing, and making your own origami moulds,

Cut, Slice, Slash

Using the idea of traces and aerial views as our starting point, we will explore layering up of fabrics and making rhythmic surfaces and structures. Cut, slice, slash and explore faux chenille type effects, and the use of a pleating machine as a method of stitching and texturising alongside with machine and hand stitch. Visual information derived from aerial views will be developed in a variety of ways (including work on paper and in sketchbooks) then selectively taken forward through sampling into larger pieces.

Dates:  27/07/2018, 09:00  to 29/07/2018, 16:00, 3 days 
Venue: Hawar Textile Institute, Hawar, Oosterwoldseweg 33 8421RR, Oldeberkoopp, Netherlands

Surfacing; Fold, Pleat, Form

Working with hand and machine stitch, and an introduction to a pleating machine, the workshop will explore both formal and more organic sculptural possibilities of pleating and folding as a means of exploring a surface. Techniques used will draw on aspects of shibori, heat setting, and origami techniques. Simple methods of printing, colouring and marking cloth will be introduced enabling you to use this to enhance form.  Participants continuing on from ‘Traces and aerial views’ will be able to capitalise on learning and further develop ideas.

Dates:  31/07/2018, 09:00  to 2/08/2018, 16:00, 3 days 
Venue: Hawar Textile Institute, Hawar, Oosterwoldseweg 33 8421RR, Oldeberkoopp, Netherlands

'I’ve just been on the Caroline Bartlett course and loved every minute of it. It was very well structured and thought out, full of fascinating information and little gems of helpful tips. She is a lovely tutor, warm and passionate about her work.
