    Description

    Experimentation is essential in collage and the handling of materials – the cutting, tearing, folding, stacking and attaching bits and pieces into a whole – reinforces the importance of the process. A process that seems very familiar to the making of quilts. This spontaneous way of working also helps develop an intuitive feeling for design and composition.

    In this workshop we will work with both paper and fabric and the integration of these materials. Through a variety of exercises you’ll explore visual and tactile layering to express personal content. We’ll deal with the concept of recycling, artistic control and the ‘art of taking away’, and discuss what makes a series work.

    The media and wet process equipment required will be available at the studio to ensure you come feeling relaxed in the knowledge that the right materials will be there for you. As such, there will be a supplies fee of £25 per student to cover:

    • Black India Ink
    • Mx dyes
    • Fabric paints in yellow, red, blue, black and white
    • Acrylic matte gel medium
    • Mixing plates
    • Silk screens
    • Various brushes, rollers, scrapers and mark-making tools
    • Masking tape & double-sided tape

    Housekeeping
    Please arrive between 9 to 9.30am on the first day. Tuition will run from 9.30am to 5.30pm, although you can work until 6.30pm from Monday to Thursday. On Friday, the workshop will close at 5.30pm. Lunch will be provided and tea, coffee, water and biscuits will be on-tap throughout the day. Please advise Claire if you have dietary requirements or restrictions.

    About Jette
    Jette was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark, but she has lived and worked for many years in the United States and the Netherlands. Since 2005 she has been living in Antwerp, Belgium.

    She was a journalist before she became an artist, which explains why text and lettering are almost always present in her work. She is also an art historian and worked for 12 years as a curator at the national Dutch Textile Museum, where she organised the very first European Art Quilt exhibition. Since 1998 Jette has worked as a full-time studio artist and taught workshops in surface design. She has been a member of the European group ‘Quilt Art’ since 2000.

    Working with IntentID #7

    Potter's Farm Studio, Betchworth, UK - £425 + £25 supplies

    Claire Benn - 0 spaces remaining
    UK

    Key Info

    Dates; 9am Monday 24th June to 5.30pm Friday 28th June 2013
    Experience level; intermediate to advanced. Participants must be familiar with a reasonable number of surface design techniques, comfortable with using Mx dyes & wet processes and able to work with a level of independence.
    Class size; limited to 9.
    Venue; Potter’s Farm Studio, Station Road, Betchworth, Surrey RH3 7DF.
    Fees: £425 plus supplies fee of £25
    Registration: register through the website or email Claire at cb@committedtocloth.com

    Description

    This retreat is for those seeking:

    • mentoring & guidance (rather than structured tuition)
    • discussion and debate on many aspects of surface design, composition, format, finishing and presentation.
    • a dedicated window of time to focus on their own work, take time out to contemplate and discuss ways forward, and create momentum.

    This retreat therefore seeks to help participants work with Intent, using surface design techniques and wet processes to either:

    • generate compositional whole cloth or a palette of cloth to a plan or vision
    • explore and push boundaries with wet processes and develop technique
    • explore personal imagery and mark-making.

    Claire’s main focus will be to guide and mentor rather than instruct, for example:

    • discussing individual plans/intentions.
    • providing advice and guidance on the best choice of tools to generate the imagery sought and where appropriate, developing good technique.
    • providing advice and guidance on the order of processes.
    • input and demonstrations on technique and process as needed/ requested
    • one-to-one and group discussions to help participants respond to their work as it evolves, and plan next steps.

    As such, whilst this is a hands-on retreat, the goal is not to teach specific processes. Instead, participants will be working to the beat of their own drum. The evaluation of work-in-progress and discussion of ideas, concepts, design and composition will be encouraged.

    RETREAT FORMAT & HOURS
    To encourage the sense of retreat, the following format will be (roughly!) followed:

    Monday to Thursday; the studio will be open from 8.30am to 8.30pm. Whilst formal ‘class time’ will be from 8.30am to 5.30pm, Claire will be available to the group from 7.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Thursday. These extra hours are invaluable for one-to-one consultation and individual and/or group critiques and discussions.
    Friday (last day); the studio opens at 8.30am and class closes at 6pm. Clear-up between 3-4pm, closure session 4-6pm.

    OPTIONAL FOLLOW-UP WEEK – ‘OPEN BENCH’
    To enable people to build and consolidate on their retreat, I have scheduled an extra 6 days of ‘open bench’ time at a reduced rate in the week following the workshop. Students will be able to book a bench at £25 a day for wet work or £20 a day for dry work. This ‘open bench’ facility will not be tutored so students must be able and willing to take responsibility for their own output. Availability will be as follows and precedence will be given to those attending the ‘Working with Intent’ workshop:

    Saturday June 29th
    Monday July 1st through to Friday July 5th

    If not all students choose to stay on for the extra 6 days, the open bench facility will be offered to other students who may wish to come and work. Please advise at the time of booking if you would like to take advantage of Open Bench, and on which days.

    SUPPLIES ON-SITE
    The supplies fee will cover use of the media, although exactly what any student will use will be dependent on individual goals. The following supplies of wet media will be provided:

    • Procion Mx dyes; Scarlet, Magenta, Golden Yellow, Acid Yellow, Royal Blue, Turquoise, Black, Dark Brown, Rust Orange, Petrol Green, Red-Brown.
    • Discharge; Formosul will be used as the discharging medium. It can be used in paste or liquid format.
    • Fabric Paints: Magenta, Scarlet, Acid Lemon, Golden Yellow, Turquoise, Royal/Mixing Blue, Black, White (sheer and opaque), Transparent Extender Base, metallic Gold, Silver and Chocolate.
    • Acrylic mediums; matte, gloss & gel mediums (e.g. for use with paper lamination or other techniques requiring acrylic mediums).
    • Resists; Soy Wax, water-soluble glue, flour paste, cover film, freezer paper, masking tape (for resist work on cloth or on-screen).
    • Chemicals; Urea, Ludigol, Calgon, Sodium Alginate (for making Chemical Water and Print Paste), Soda Ash, Salt.
    • Tools: a selection of key tools will be provided, including:
    • silkscreens & squeegees
    • litter trays
    • bristle decorators’ brushes and foam brushes in various widths
    • a selection of bristle & synthetic artists’ brushes
    • monoprinting plates (large & small)
    • tjantings & other soy wax tools
    • credit cards and scrapers
    • rollers
    • needle-nose bottles
    • sponges

    An ample supply of thickened and liquid (water-colour consistency) dye paints, discharge media, Chemical Water & Print Paste will be ready for use on the first day. Thereafter, a rota will be established where 2 different people per day will be responsible for keeping stocks topped up. Recipes will be posted to ensure consistency throughout the week. Other media such as fabric paints, matte medium, soy wax etc. will be available for use at any time.

    HOUSEKEEPING
    Lunch will be provided and tea, coffee, water and biscuits will be on-tap throughout the day. Please advise Claire of any dietary restrictions.

    Requirements

    WHAT TO BRING

    The Intention
    Perhaps the most important element to bring with you. I am aware that some people like to work to a plan and some prefer to respond to the cloth as it evolves. Both approaches are valid and either way, I encourage you to take time before the workshop to consider:

    • Specific purpose; __consider whether you’ll be working to a specific goal (compositional wholecloth or a palette of cloth); aiming to push processes or explore/develop technique or exploring personal imagery and mark-making (or a combination thereof).
    • Key colour and value references; __having an idea of a colour palette can help you to focus, although the palette may (of course) change for any individual piece of cloth. You may wish to consider bringing a small range of references such as painted papers, tear-outs from magazines, paint chips, photographs and so forth. Some participants like to use references, others do not. If you do bring some, limit things to the really useful!
    • Personal imagery;__ undertaking design work to generate the marks, lines, shapes and texture you wish to see come alive in your cloth (see note on thermofaxes later).
    • Specific tools: __whilst much of what you’ll need is provided at the studio, give thought to preparing or assembling personal tools in advance. This may include thermofax screens, cutting stamps, assembling favourite mark-making tools or making stencils for use with a silk screen.
    • Journaling or other notes;__ any written work that may be important to the overall goal.

    Bring all of this with you.

    The Cloth
    Choose the fabric(s) you wish to work with and prepare it accordingly. Scouring – even with cloth that is sold as PFD – is recommended. Bring 15 to 20 metres in total and label each piece in a corner. It may not all be used – this is dependent on individual working styles and pace. Racing is to be avoided, whereas thoughtful consideration will be encouraged.

    For dye paints, I prefer to work on soda-soaked cloth rather than putting soda ash into the dyes (the benefits of this approach will be explained). As such, please ensure you have two pieces of scoured, soda-soaked and dried cloth ready for use on the first day: don’t iron it or fold it once soda-soaked – just stuff it into a bag once dry. A soda vat will be available for on-going soda soaking throughout the workshop. To soda soak scoured cloth:

    • Pre-scour it, then dry it or spin-dry it.
    • Create a soda vat large enough for your needs; the basic recipe is 3 tablespoons of soda ash to 1 litre of water. Dissolve sufficient soda ash for your needs in warm (not cold or hot) water and top up with the appropriate amount of cold water.
    • Place the scoured, dry (or spun-dried) cloth in to the soda vat and leave for 15 minutes.
    • Dry by drip-drying or spin the soda-soaked cloth before line drying (if you have a spin dryer, recycle the run off back into the soda vat). DO NOT TUMBLE DRY.
    • Once dry, stuff it into a bag (don’t fold or iron).

    Additional Media
    If you wish to use media outside of that specified in the class description, please bring it with you.

    Tools (please label everything you bring)
    The studio stocks most of what you’ll need, so don’t be tempted to bring the entire contents of your workshop! However, you may wish to consider bringing:

    • Thermofax screens (if you have them): thermofaxes can be made at the studio at any time, and prices will be advised for the different sizes. Photocopies of imagery can be made at the studio.
    • Mark-making tools of individual choice; a good selection of tools will be provided but if you have favourites, bring them.

    Other Stuff

    • Two dropcloths: please bring dropcloths that are sturdy, such as drill cotton or denim. Old sheets are too thin and avoid heavy-weight muslin or canvas as it tends to hold wrinkles. Your dropcloths will need to measure 1.25 × 2.5 metres, once scoured and shrunk. Those travelling by plane need NOT bring dropcloths to enable them to use their baggage allowance for more exciting items.
    • Rubber gloves (suggest 2 pairs).
    • 1 x box of ball-headed or T pins.
    • 1 x black Sharpie.
    • Notebook; handouts on recipes and some process will be provided, but it can be useful to record your order of process on individual pieces, or make notes during general discussions.
    • Sketch book or white paper for on going design work.
    • Pen and pencil.
    • Cloth apron (or wear the equivalent of gardening/decorating clothes).
    • Comfortable, rubber-soled shoes (you’ll be standing a great deal and the floor is concrete).
    • An ipod and headphones if you like to work to music.

    Note: the studio stocks a wide range of cloth and media and a selection of tools such as silkscreens, squeegees and needle nose bottles. Students are welcome to top up their supplies before leaving, but please note the studio does not mail order.

    Please contact Claire at cb@committedtocloth.com if you have any queries. In the meantime, I look forward to a week of focused work.

    Description

    Note: __this workshop will build on learning from the 2012 workshop, ‘Mark-Making & Letterforms’, although ‘new’ students will be able to get the gist and get good results nonetheless!

    This workshop is a challenge or call to focus, persevere and master a single implement. The aim of the workshop is to enable you to:

    • explore and understand the specific skills needed to generate designs with a single tool
    • develop a wide graphic vocabulary
    • arrange marks, letters and patterns by means of repetition, rotation, density and scale to create an enormous range of pattern and texture.

    The first morning will be spent exploring a wide variety of calligraphic tools, including found objects. After lunch, you’ll be asked to pick one single tool that’s capable of generating fine and heavy strokes/marks and work with it exclusively for the rest of the workshop.

    On the last day of the workshop you will have the option to use thermofaxes to explore some of your output directly on to cloth. In some instances it may be possible to work directly with your chosen tool on cloth.

    SUPPLIES ON-SITE
    To ensure you have the correct supplies, certain items will be provided for you including:

    • India Ink
    • Paper (in quantity!)
    • Wooden stick, glass pipette & needle-nose bottle
    • Procion Mx dyes
    • Discharge paste
    • Fabric Paints

    HOUSEKEEPING

    ABOUT DENISE
    Denise has been involved with calligraphy and conceptual writing since 1985. She teaches lettering design and screen printing at the Basel School of Design, and leads calligraphic courses and workshops in Switzerland and abroad. To quote Denise from her book:

    “The creative design potential of calligraphy and lettering is almost limitless. Even a blot or a mistake can become a design element, as long as you let it be. Sometimes it may become an essential part of the whole… The process of inspiration, experimentation and critical examination can open endless creative avenues, improve your feeling for good design and sharpen your sense of rhythm and balance”.

    Requirements

    WHAT TO BRING

    Tools
    Those who have already studied with Denise will have experienced a wide range of calligraphic/mark-making tools. Please bring those tools with you. For those who’ve not studied with Denise before, you may wish to invest in small selection of calligraphic tools, for example:

    • a parallel pen with different nib widths
    • one or two ‘dipping’ calligraphy pens
    • some found objects for writing with e.g. feathers, bits of slate, electrical ties etc.

    All students will be supplied with a wooden stick, cola-nib, glass pipette and a needle-nose bottle as part of the supplies fee.

    Words
    Please choose a short sentence to use as a basis for your exlorations – no longer than ten words. You will use this sentence throughout the workshop. Legibility will not be the aim, so it really doesn’t matter what the words are, as long as they are personal to you, and speak to you. You might select something from journals, school reports, poetry, song lyrics, quotations etc.

    Cloth
    You have the option of working directly on cloth on the last day. As such, please bring up to 3m of scoured and soda-soaked cloth.

    General Supplies

    • An A3 card folder or shallow box to store your output in.
    • Sketch book.
    • A selection of writing tools; pens of different types and nib widths, pencils, charcoal, found objects and so forth. However, DO NOT spend large amounts of money investing in specialist calligraphy tools.
    • Pen and pencil (for note-taking and marking up your papers.
    • A good quality eraser.
    • A Camera.
    • A dropcloth: you’ll use this when working directly with cloth. Please bring something sturdy such as drill cotton or denim. Old sheets are too thin and avoid heavy-weight muslin or canvas as it tends to hold wrinkles. Your dropcloths need to measure 1.25 × 2.5 metres, once scoured and shrunk.
    • Rubber gloves
    • One black Sharpie.
    • Notebook; some handouts will be provided, but it can be useful to make notes during general discussions.

    Description

    Note: this workshop has been organized for German speakers.

    Die Größe macht’s: Druck und Entwurfstechnik
    Grösse ist eigentlich immer relativ und doch hat jede von uns auch eine absolute Vorstellung von den Begriffen “gross” und “klein”. Wir werden diese Begriffe erforschen, mit ihnen spielen, Die Wechselwirkung zwischen gross und klein erkunden. Kontrast, Spannung, Gleichgewicht sind einige der Themen, die dabei untersucht werden. In dieser Woche werden wir grosse und kleine Motive und Muster auf kleine und grosse bis sehr grosse Stoffstücke drucken und mit diesen Stoffen kleine und grosse bis sehr grosse Werke entwerfen. Kleine Arbeiten werden als Collagen gearbeitet, grosse entstehen an der Entwurfswand. Auf Wunsch kann eine Nähmaschine gemietet werden, man kann aber auch ohne auskommen.

    Size Matters: Printing and Drafting
    Size is always relative but in spite of this, we all have our own interpretation of the words ‘big’ and ‘small’. This workshop will explore the concept of scale and enable you to play with it and explore different ideas.

    You’ll discover how different sizes interact and the impact they have on contrast, tension and balance. We will spend time working with large and small marks to create patterns, working on creating works of differing sizes. Small pieces will be developed through collage techniques whilst larger-scale works will be developed on the design board.

    A sewing machine is going to be potentially useful but not essential. The studio has three sewing machines that can either be shared by the group, and additional machines can be rented on request.

    SUPPLIES ON-SITE
    The supplies fee will cover use of the media, although exactly what any student will use will be dependent on individual preferences. The following supplies of wet media will be provided:

    • Procion Mx dyes; 11 key colours
    • Discharge; Formosul will be used as the discharging medium.
    • Fabric Paints: a large range of colours, including metallics.
    • Resists; Soy Wax, water-soluble glue, flour paste, cover film, freezer paper, masking tape (for resist work on cloth or on-screen).
    • Chemicals; everything needed for dye and discharge work.
    • Tools: a selection of key tools will be provided, including:

    - silkscreens & squeegees – bristle decorators’ brushes and foam brushes in various widths – a selection of bristle & synthetic artists’ brushes – monoprinting plates (large & small) – tjantings & other soy wax tools – credit cards and scrapers, rollers, needle-nose bottles, sponges etc. etc.

    HOUSEKEEPING
    Lunch will be provided and tea, coffee, water and biscuits will be on-tap throughout the day. Please advise Claire of any dietary restrictions.

    Please arrive between 9-9.30am on the first day. Teaching hours will be from 9am to 5pm, although students can work until 6.30pm (and possibly later). The workshop will close at 5.30pm on the last day.

    • Nach dem Trocknen in eine Tüte stopfen (nicht falten und nicht bügeln!)

    Grundmaterialien & Werkzeug
    Auch wenn die Kursgebühr den Gebrauch von Materialien und Werkzeug und ein Dropcloth, das Sie nach dem Kurs mitnehmen dürfen, mit einschließt, sollen die Teilnehmerinnen zusätzlich eigenes Material mitbringen:

    • Werkeug: Sollten Sie außer den oben genannten noch ein Lieblingswerkzeug haben, bringen Sie es mit.
    • Thermofax Siebe: Thermofax ist nicht Schwerpunkt des Kurses, aber es kann sich lohnen drei oder vier Ihrer eigenen bevorzugten Thermofaxe mitzubringen – achten Sie wenn möglich auf unterschiedliche Grössen in den Motiven.
    • Gummihandschuhe (vorzugsweise 2 Paar).
    • Filzstifte oder wasserfester schwarzer Tintenroller.
    • Stoffschürze (oder etwas Entsprechendes wie Garten- oder Arbeitskleidung).
    • Bequeme Schuhe mit Gummisohle (Sie werden viel Zeit stehend verbringen!).
    • Notizblock; Handzettel mit Rezepten und einige Arbeitsprozesse werden verteilt, aber es ist sicherer, wenn Sie für Ihren Arbeitsablauf eigene Notizen machen.
    • IPod, falls Sie mit Musik arbeiten wollen.

    Key Info

    Dates; Monday 16 to Friday 20 September 2013
    Experience level; suitable for any level.
    Class size; limited to 9.
    Venue; Potter’s Farm Studio, Station Road, Betchworth, Surrey RH3 7DF.
    Fees: £425 plus supplies fee of £25
    Registration: through the website or email Claire at cb@committedtocloth.com

    Description

    A workshop for anyone interested in using letterforms, text, graphics, numbers and graffiti in their work. We’ll be exploring a variety of different methods:

    • block printing with a range of wooden alphabets, numbers and punctuation marks
    • thermofax and screen printing
    • writing with a variety of different tools (brushes, needle-nose bottles, home-made nibs etc.)
    • spraying
    • stencilling
    • monoprinting

    Using a variety of different media (dye paints, discharge, fabric paints and resists) you’ll be encouraged to:

    • use recognisable letterforms, text/script or numbers
    • develop your own version of the alphabet, or create marks that reference text or script
    • use structure and repetition
    • get messy and illegible
    • build layers, explore figure-ground, contrasts and relationships

    The aim is to build complex, layered surfaces that can be art in their own right, used for stitched textiles or embroidery, collage or piecing or even garments and soft furnishings.

    OPTIONAL FOLLOW-UP WEEK – ‘OPEN BENCH’
    To enable people to consolidate, build on or complete their output, I have scheduled an extra 6 days of ‘open bench’ time at a reduced rate in the week following the workshop. Students will be able to book a bench at £25 a day for wet work or £20 a day for dry work. This ‘open bench’ facility will not be tutored so students must be able and willing to take responsibility for their own output. Availability will be as follows and precedence will be given to those attending the ‘Graphics & Graffiti’ workshop:

    Monday 23 to Friday 27 September

    If not all students choose to stay on for the extra 6 days, the open bench facility will be offered to other students who may wish to come and work. Please advise at the time of booking if you would like to take advantage of Open Bench, and on which days.

    SUPPLIES ON-SITE
    The supplies fee will cover use of the media, although exactly what any student will use will be dependent on individual preferences. The following supplies of wet media will be provided:

    • Procion Mx dyes; 11 key colours.
    • Discharge; Formosul will be used as the discharging medium. It can be used in paste or liquid format.
    • Fabric Paints: a large range of colours, including metallics.
    • Acrylic mediums; matte, gloss & gel mediums (e.g. for use with paper lamination or other techniques requiring acrylic mediums).
    • Resists; Soy Wax, water-soluble glue, flour paste, cover film, freezer paper, masking tape (for resist work on cloth or on-screen).
    • Chemicals; everything needed for dye and discharge work.
    • Tools: a selection of key tools will be provided, including:

    ⇨ silkscreens & squeegees
    ⇨ bristle decorators’ brushes and foam brushes in various widths
    ⇨ a selection of bristle & synthetic artists’ brushes
    ⇨ monoprinting plates (large & small)
    ⇨ tjantings & other soy wax tools
    ⇨ credit cards and scrapers, rollers, needle-nose bottles, sponges etc. etc.

    An ample supply of thickened and liquid dye paints, discharge media, Chemical Water & Print Paste will be ready for use on the first day. As getting experience at mixing dyes is an important part of the learning process, a rota will be established where 2 to 3 people per day will be responsible for keeping stocks topped up. Recipes will be posted to ensure consistency throughout the week. Other media such as fabric paints, matte medium, soy wax etc. will be available for use at any time.

    HOUSEKEEPING
    Lunch will be provided and tea, coffee, water and biscuits will be on-tap throughout the day. Please advise Claire of any dietary restrictions.

    Requirements

    WHAT TO BRING

    Source Material
    As you’ll be exploring letterforms, text, numbers, graphics and graffiti, it can be helpful to have something to write (as opposed to using ‘Kilroy woz here’). As such, bring some source material which might include:

    • old school reports
    • family letters, love letters, postcards, birthday cards etc.
    • recipes
    • poems, quotes, song lyrics
    • pages from old books (particularly if the typeface or font interests you)
    • sheet music
    • images (of graffiti, ancient manuscripts, advertising hoardings etc.)

    Your source material can be meaningful or meaningless – your choice – and pin boards will be made available to each student for ease of reference.

    The Cloth
    Choose the fabric(s) you wish to work with and prepare it accordingly. Scouring – even with cloth that is sold as PFD – is recommended. Bring up to 15 metres in total and label each piece in a corner. It may not all be used – this is dependent on individual working styles and pace. Racing is to be avoided, whereas thoughtful consideration will be encouraged.

    For dye paints, I prefer to work on soda-soaked cloth rather than putting soda ash into the dyes (the benefits of this approach will be explained). A soda vat will be available for on-going soda soaking throughout the workshop and we will get an ample supply of cloth prepared on the first day. However, if you wish to pre-prepare some cloth, here’s how:

    • Pre-scour it, then dry it or spin-dry it.
    • Create a soda vat large enough for your needs; the basic recipe is 3 tablespoons of soda ash to 1 litre of water. Dissolve sufficient soda ash for your needs in warm (not cold or hot) water and top up with the appropriate amount of cold water.
    • Place the scoured, dry (or spun-dried) cloth in to the soda vat and leave for 15 minutes.
    • Dry by drip-drying or spin the soda-soaked cloth before line drying (if you have a spin dryer, recycle the run off back into the soda vat). DO NOT TUMBLE DRY.
    • Once dry, stuff it into a bag (don’t fold or iron).

    General Supplies

    • Mark-making tools of individual choice; remember you’ll be exploring letterforms, graphics, numbers and engaging in acts of graffiti on your cloth. So, bring tools that might help you with this. You’ll also be able to access the tools at the studio.
    • Two dropcloths: please bring dropcloths that are sturdy, such as drill cotton or denim. Old sheets are too thin and avoid heavy-weight muslin or canvas as it tends to hold wrinkles. Your dropcloths need to measure 1.25 × 2.5 metres, once scoured and shrunk. Those travelling by plane need NOT bring dropcloths to enable them to use their baggage allowance for more exciting items.
    • Rubber gloves (suggest 2 pairs).
    • One box of ball-headed or T pins.
    • One black Sharpie or similar waterproof pen.
    • Notebook; handouts on recipes and some process will be provided, but it can be useful to record your order of process on individual pieces, or make notes during general discussions.
    • Sketch book or white paper for on going design work.
    • Pen and pencil.
    • Cloth apron (or wear the equivalent of gardening/decorating clothes).
    • Comfortable, rubber-soled shoes (you’ll be standing a great deal).
    • an ipod and headphones if you like to work to music.

    Note: the studio stocks a wide range of cloth and media and a selection of tools such as silkscreens, squeegees and needle nose bottles. Students are welcome to buy their cloth at the studio and/or top up their supplies before leaving, but please note the studio does not mail order.

    Please contact Claire at cb@committedtocloth.com if you have any queries.

    Description

    Grey can be a misunderstood colour and the aim of this workshop is to explore the breadth, depth and beauty that grey can offer. Students will learn to:

    • mix a never-ending palette of grey
    • layer greys on grey, white, black and other neutrals
    • use colour in under painting as a foundation for grey
    • use accent colours (and not always red!)

    Using a variety of different media (Mx dyes, discharge, fabric paints, resists) we will explore how grey can be used for figure and for ground, for background texture, strong graphic effects and how it can communicate different moods, atmospheres or a sense of place and time.

    In terms of using grey, students will have free range across a variety of surface design techniques including screens and thermofaxes, rollers, brushes, scrapers, needle-nose bottles, print plates and so forth.

    The resulting cloth can be used as art in its own right, for stitched textiles or embroidery, for collage and piecing or even garments and soft furnishings.

    SUPPLIES ON-SITE
    The supplies fee will cover use of the media, although exactly what any student will use will be dependent on individual preferences. The following supplies of wet media will be provided:

    • Procion Mx dyes; 11 key colours (you’ll be experimenting with mixing many forms of grey)
    • Discharge; Formosul will be used as the discharging medium. It can be used in paste or liquid format.
    • Fabric Paints: a large range of colours, including metallics.
    • Resists; Soy Wax, water-soluble glue, flour paste, cover film, freezer paper, masking tape (for resist work on cloth or on-screen).
    • Chemicals; everything needed for dye and discharge work.
    • Tools: a selection of key tools will be provided, including:

    ⇨ silkscreens & squeegees
    ⇨ bristle decorators’ brushes and foam brushes in various widths
    ⇨ a selection of bristle & synthetic artists’ brushes
    ⇨ monoprinting plates (large & small)
    ⇨ tjantings & other soy wax tools
    ⇨ credit cards and scrapers, rollers, needle-nose bottles, sponges etc. etc.

    An ample supply of thickened and liquid (water-colour consistency) dye paints, discharge media, Chemical Water & Print Paste will be ready for use on the first day. As getting experience at mixing dyes is an important part of the learning process, a rota will be established where 2 to 3 people per day will be responsible for keeping stocks topped up. Recipes will be posted to ensure consistency throughout the week. Other media such as fabric paints, soy wax etc. will be available for use at any time.

    HOUSEKEEPING
    Lunch will be provided and tea, coffee, water and biscuits will be on-tap throughout the day. Please advise Claire of any dietary restrictions.

    Requirements

    WHAT TO BRING

    SOURCE MATERIAL
    We would like you to research grey before you come. This will involve building a reference bank that might comprise of:

    • photographic images; your own or cut from magazines, old books etc.
    • collecting paint chips from the paint shop in every grey you can find
    • collecting paper, thread or fabric scraps in as many greys as you encounter
    • exploring how grey manifests itself in words (poetry, lyrics etc.)
    • simply being aware of grey as a colour and how it effects you as you exist in the world. For example:

    - the soft, almost pink grey of early morning – the hard, perhaps aggressive greys of an industrial or urban landscape – the gentle greys of the natural world – plants, pebbles, lichens etc. – the greys found within the sky, the earth or water

    How you assemble and organise your source materials is up to you – each student will have a pinboard to use during the workshop for ease of reference.

    And to get your juices flowing, we suggest three contemporary artists for you to consider in terms of their use of grey: Jasper Johns, Gerhard Richter and Rebecca Salter.

    THE CLOTH
    Choose the fabric(s) you wish to work with and prepare it accordingly. Scouring – even with cloth that is sold as PFD – is recommended. Bring up to 15 metres in total and label each piece in a corner. It may not all be used – this is dependent on individual working styles and pace. Racing is to be avoided, whereas thoughtful consideration will be encouraged.

    For dye paints, we prefer to work on soda-soaked cloth rather than putting soda ash into the dyes (the benefits of this approach will be explained). As such, please ensure you have two pieces of scoured, soda-soaked and dried cloth ready for use on the first day: don’t iron it or fold it once soda-soaked – just stuff it into a bag once dry. A soda vat will be available for on-going soda soaking throughout the workshop. To soda soak scoured cloth:

    • Pre-scour it, then dry it or spin-dry it.
    • Create a soda vat large enough for your needs; the basic recipe is 3 tablespoons of soda ash to 1 litre of water. Dissolve sufficient soda ash for your needs in warm (not cold or hot) water and top up with the appropriate amount of cold water.
    • Place the scoured, dry (or spun-dried) cloth in to the soda vat and leave for 15 minutes.
    • Dry by drip-drying or spin the soda-soaked cloth before line drying (if you have a spin dryer, recycle the run off back into the soda vat). DO NOT TUMBLE DRY.
    • Once dry, stuff it into a bag (don’t fold or iron).

    GENERAL SUPPLIES

    • If you have favourite mark-making tools, then bring a selection.
    • Two dropcloths: please bring dropcloths that are sturdy, such as drill cotton or denim. Old sheets are too thin and avoid heavy-weight muslin or canvas as it tends to hold wrinkles. Your dropcloths need to measure 1.25 × 2.5 metres, once scoured and shrunk. Those travelling by plane need NOT bring dropcloths to enable them to use their baggage allowance for more exciting items.
    • Rubber gloves (suggest 2 pairs).
    • One box of ball-headed or T pins.
    • One black Sharpie or similar waterproof pen.
    • Notebook; handouts on recipes and some process will be provided, but it can be useful to record your order of process on individual pieces, or make notes during general discussions.
    • Sketch book or white paper for on going design work.
    • Pen and pencil.
    • Cloth apron (or wear the equivalent of gardening/decorating clothes).
    • Comfortable, rubber-soled shoes (you’ll be standing a great deal).

    About Dorothy
    Dorothy Caldwell is a Canadian textile artist working in Hastings, Ontario. Her work incorporates quilting and stitching traditions with resist and discharged dyeing techniques. Her travel and research in India, Japan, and Australia has influenced her work both as sources of dyeing and stitching practices and as places where textile artists share her beliefs in the integration of historical work in contemporary contexts.

    Dorothy represented Canada at the World’s Fair in Osaka in 1991 and returned to Japan in 1993 to participate in the International Shibori exhibition and conference. In 1997 she received a research grant for travel in India to study women’s co-ops and the revival of Kantha stitching. This research lead to workshops on “the stitch” and curating an exhibition entitled “Stitching Women’s lives: Sujuni and Khatwa from Bihar, India”.

    In 1998 she had a studio residency in Newfoundland which resulted in “Ground Cover” a solo exhibition which traveled in Canada and the United States. For the past several years, she has been teaching workshops in Australia, as part of the Fiber Forum Symposiums. A research grant enabled her to travel and research Aboriginal map imagery in painting and textile.

    Dorothy has been recognized by the Bronfman Award, given to one Canadian artist each year. In 2003 she was nominated for the Governor Generals Award. She has executed major architectural commissions, and her work is in many permanent collections including the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, The Museum of Civilization in Ottawa, and the Canadian consulate in Bangkok Thailand.
