What is happening in studio 114

Last weekend we had a great workshop on Developing Ideas – This sketchbook workshop was designed to help students to explore a variety of ways to develop ideas and designs for tapestry.

We warmed up with mark making exercise before going on to doing a bit of speed drawing. Investigating line, tone, negative space, pattern and scale.
