HNC Project One - Organics

Cabbage Print

The Humble Cabbage 

The little blighter on the left had been through the wars at this stage - I'd halved it, drawn it, photographed it, and finally, painted it with black ink. 

The brief was to take something organic and use it as the subject for designs in weaving.  I did.

HNC In Contempory Constructed Textiles (weaving), Bradford College

I began the HNC in Contemporary Constructed Textiles (Weaving) in July 2012 and attended summer school at Bradford College.

I will post up some of the colour studies, sketch book pages and final samples from my projects.  Hopefully, I can get my bum into gear and record the projects as I am working on them.

 

 

In the meantime, enjoy some of the photos I took when in Bradford in October 2012.  I should have taken the trouble to find out what was going on, but didn't. Suffice to say that when I got home, I told my nearest and dearest that Bradford Centre was "all lit up".
