Last week saw the AS Textiles students progress with so many aspects of their work. They started to use & develop some of the Fashion Illustration ideas that they'd acquired during the previous weeks lessons & then they started to combine these with their new skill/technique of Vanishing Muslin.
The sketchbook pages below are a stunning example of some of the work developed by these students in just one week of study - they worked so hard & reaped some amazing results. This level of work is a result of a careful & considered approach to their studies, they have strived for excellence. This is very early days for this talented group of potential designers - but already I beleive they have the ability & aptitude to really make a serious contribution to the world of Fashion & Textiles.
Vanishing Muslin is a water soluble fibrous fabric that allows you to stitch into the surface (the stitches need to be connected) - after stitch, the sample is placed into water & the fabric dissolves leaving just the stitch. It's a perfect way to create detailed & decorative pieces for fashion outcomes - it's almost like creating your own lace effect.
The AS Textiles students stitched away frantically building layers of decorative stitch, changing colours as they progressed (rather similar to using coloured pencil crayons). They acquired, developed & controlled the technique with tremendous skill and really started to produce some highly appealing samples for their sketchbooks.
Please keep viewing this blog as this is such early days for these students & they are working so hard to continue to develop & progress with their exciting studies of AS Textiles at MV16.
