Sooo These Are The Current Product Designs Showing The Development Of Patterns On Various Products That

Developing abstracted compositions, cropping and enlarging to explore sections for repetition and textile designs for garments. The loose, expressive marks and gestural brushwork retain the spontaneity of the original line and translate an urban, edgy print as a theme of unisex wear.

Exploring composition in this textiles piece created from hand dyed indigo vintage linens and painted papers and cloth. The palette and angular composition respond to studies of a bright yellow skip, tarnished and ravaged by the weather and covered in marks created by nature. Wiggly, insect tracks, rusting and graffiti inspired colour, texture and piecing the final outcome.

This Textiles superstar, completed A level and Art FAD with us at Strode College and is about to graduate from Bath Spa Textiles design. All the best for a creative future to all our alumni. Keep in touch!

A parking fine inspired me to channel my frustration into something more positive. The yellow colour palette and use of repetitive imagery and text were the focus when creating this new sketchbook. Surprising what can inspire you!

Fun and satire with our new Level 3 Art students.

Let’s tell Boris what we really think 🤔 Get involved. Art is Power!

2017. Gabby Costello Art FAD exploring eco-textile printing and natural dyes. About to graduate from Somerset University, Taunton. All the best Gabby! This was your FMP show leaving Strode College in 2017. 

Expressive drawings inspired by Jim Dine. Rally fun session, learning to let go and loosen up. Well done. A level Art. 

Let me know if you enjoyed it, if it was helpful, what you learned from it.... thanks. Shall we do more one-off drawing sessions?

So happy to be back in the Textiles zone, working with new Art Foundation students creating shadow paintings to develop into print and stitch this week.

It’s always exciting to start the new term in September but so necessary after such along period away from creative Strode sessions. I have really missed working with our incredible Art students. Welcome back to you all. 

These paintings will be used to explore screen printing, heat transfer printing and surface designs with stitch for the 3 week workshop sessions in textiles.

A great start!
