First Year Degree Work

During my first year on the course I completed two projects in each displine of print, knit and weave. Below is a collection of samples from the second project in each area.

Print
























These designs were influenced from a brief called 'A bad workman never blames his tools.' Most of my inspiration came from different types of tools, however, I also took inspiration from an artist called Jim Dine who also had used tools as a basis for his work.

Weave





















These are a few samples from my weave project. I started by creating A1 size drawings of a still life, which included many different objects including flowers. To create the drawings I had to use match pot paints and ink. I also took photographs of the still life so that I could continue drawing from it and develop my sketchbook. It was the drawings from my sketchbook which gave me my inspiration for my weaving. After creating a range of samples I then made a bag using one of my designs.
Knit

























For my knit project my inspiration came from a visit to the Maritime Museum in Liverpool. My sketchbook was developed from the photos and drawings I took whilst at the museum. Using my visual reserach I then created some knitted sampes out of linen yarn.
