As part of my course at Bournville, I'm required to do a Holiday Project. Fun right? Totally!!
When I read the first task which is to visit and exhibition I got really excited and then I moved onto task 2....Hmmm what?! It was rather confusing, immediately I felt like crying. Until I turned over the page and saw TASK 3!
Task 3 is about connecting to fabric. Right up my street that. I was bursting with excitement! One of the Artists recommended was Natasha Kerr. And I'm SO happy she was recommended, her work is absolutely beautiful. My whole body was just bursting with inspiration and excitement as I looked through her work.
Japanese Boro was also recommended, firstly the word boro in Japanese means rags or scraps.
I search some sites on Google and saw different scraps fabric sewn together to make garments, patches on clothes or just fabric collages. It was very similar to Natasha Kerr's work. So I decided to use these two sources as my backbone for this task.
After I've completed this project I would love to do some quilting of my own, maybe make some garments and accessories using this technique.
