Manipulated Textiles Using Heat Setting Techniques at City Lit

The course will introduce methods of stitching, pleating, folding, crumpling, crushing, and using moulds as a means of manipulating cloth and paper. Heat processes such as steaming, heat pressing and boiling will be used as a means to do this to apply transfer colours to crushed surfaces. Create surfaces and structures in fabric with an emphasis on repetition and rhythm and to extend knowledge of the behavioural properties of materials.
