Mark-Making and Designing

Create a series of paper based-designs focusing on mark-making techniques, cutwork and collage to create a collection that can also include playing with simple repeating motifs. The designs could be suitable for fashion or interior markets.

If students prefer to draw from something, they could bring along reference visuals but this workshop can be nice as a spontaneous session in which you just draw and make marks intuitively.

Initially, we recommend that you do this in one colour i.e. black & white, blue & white, pink & white etc and can then re-run the workshop including more colour if you like. This approach will allow the focus to be on the quality of the marks as opposed the colour.
