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.

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.
'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.
