Summer School 2015: Inside Out, Upside Down
In and Out of the Landscape
A workshop that investigates your point of view of the landscape. Are you inspired by the panorama, the detail, the changing light and weather, the memories, the postcard from the gallery, the holiday snap? Are you in or out?
Progressive sampling with your chosen materials will be based on garment construction and conservation methods. Cloth and papers marked and worn by repeated manipulation and folding; changing the two-dimensional to three-dimensional; adding colour and marks with print and stitch; patching and layering with fragments to add texture and depth. Borrowed craft techniques will be explored to hold together non-textile materials. Found objects, whether manmade or natural, will link a ‘place’ with an ‘idea’.
The course will conclude with individual discussions to consider a display inside or outside, and the potential for further development.
