I have an ongoing obsession with pattern. In the summer I was lucky enough to turn that obsession into a small project by co-ordinating some workshops for people in Macclesfield. (You can read more about that by looking at Macclesfield Silk Museum Heritage Trust here) In the morning, members of the public were taken on a tour of the town, looking at pattern in architecture. Armed with cameras and a professional photographer guide, we encouraged them to seek out the details that usually pass them by. In the afternoon, I brought in artists / designers / printers from one69a to help them turn their photos into screen prints and transfer them onto bags and t-shirts. one69a have just launched their new website and included the workshops as one of their case studies so take a fuller look over there... And by the way - if you like architectural pattern, do take a look at the project with Rosie James at Ordsall Hall in Salford

...BlogI'm most interested in how the public, your public, whoever that may be, engages with culture and creativity.
And if it nurtures creativity and develops personal, social or professional skills I'm absolutely all ears. Categories
