If you enjoy drawing patterns, or simply observational drawing, you will love this session. Join us for an exciting journey through textile craftsmanship as we explore the motifs in the stunning exhibit – Chay Reds, Ferrous Black. The exhibition features Palampores and textile fragments, from the 18th century, filled with exquisite motifs from both Indian and Sri Lankan cultures. During this session, we will visually explore these motifs and record them in our sketchbooks.
Towards the end of the session, we will re-imagine these motifs and personalise them, so we could paint or print them on t-shirts or tops if you wish.
Important – What you need for this session:
1. A Sketchbook or several sheets of A4 paper with an exam pad
2. Drawing Pencil (Wood or mechanical) and an eraser
3. Colour Pencils, Crayon or Felt Pens – specifically in black and Red (A dark Red, like Dark Wine)
