VTX181A Clamp Resist Shibori
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.

VTX180B 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.
SSS08953 Reshaping Cloth- Print and Manipulation
Investigate formal and more organic possibilities of manipulating the surface of cloth into relief and three-dimensional structures. Drawing on aspects of shibori, origami, sublimation printing and contemporary approaches to materials, you will crumple, crush, fold, pleat, and colour. Create exploratory textiles with potential application for fashion, accessories, interiors or textile art.
