WEAVING WORDS

Tutor: Marina Soria
Blending calligraphy and the textile arts. Inspired by traditional textiles search for the colour scheme, predominant & complimentary colours and accents. Analyse their design, character of line and drawings, texture and pattern in order to mingle and blend calligraphy with the textile arts. Most of the workshop will be done on paper with calligraphy, embroider & paper weaving.
