Go deep into the world of contemporary pattern design! Drawing from our extensive archive, including artist boxes in our collection, we’ll explore hand-drawn pattern design techniques, tools, and themes inspired by the works of past Artists-in-Residence. At the end of this six-part class, leave with a portfolio of pattern studies and paper prints documenting the evolution of your own designs.
Week 4: Life Size Patterns
Glean inspiration from the artist boxes of Elizabeth Kley and Trisha Brown, artists who use scale to create the feeling of the body, place, and architectural memory. Engaging your own body‘s full range of movement, create expansive patterns with fluid, reaching lines by painting with textile ink on huge open screens along our print table.
