Textile Design: putting your design into repeat!
If you’ve created that great design or print, now what do you do with it? This class will teach you how to turn your ‘croqui’/ main motif into a repeat suitable for printing. It’s not as easy as repeating it all over…there’s actually a formula to follow. Every design has to fit into a multiple of the width of the fabric or wall paper so it can be repeated to match. You will amaze yourself and become a textile designer with the knowledge learned from this class. In the first class you will learn how to design a one way repeat, tossed pattern, square design and an all over design. You will choose one to paint in gouache.
In the next class, you will work with tracing overlays and putting your design into a half drop or full repeat. You will work with colored pencils for this class. Your work will be ready for printing! You can take this to any company and print yardage for fabric, pillows, sheets, and wall paper. You can even digitally print your design as well. If time permits, you will learn how to create a coordinate for you newly designed work of art. Let your imagination challenge what you can do…most of all have some fun!
