SELF DIRECTED TECHNICAL EXPLORATION

A project to master the art of hand printing. Inspired by rocks and natural forms, this range was the result of a technical exploration of different printing techniques and dyes; how they can be used both individually and in combination with each other.

Inspired by rocks and natural forms, this project focussed on texture and mark making. Translating visual research into a printed textile was a challenging, yet thoroughly rewarding experience. 

Colour testing was a fundamental part of the project, proving to be essential in creating a cohesive collection. A balance of colour and texture had to be achieved to create a full range.
