| from 'sharjah textile hunters' workshop . 2018 |
i'll be teaching two textile themed workshops during march! the first workshop, with the support of tashkeel, is titled 'printing patterns on textiles', happening on saturday 16 march, from 10am-1pm, at the youth hub, emirates towers. participants will work on designs which will be turned into stamps and later used to print repeating patterns onto plain fabrics (similar to the images above from last year's 'sharjah textile hunters' workshop). for more info and to register, head to the workshop page here. i'm sure you'll be happy to know that this workshop is free!
the second workshop will be at warehouse 421, on tuesday 26 march, from 5:30-7:30pm. titled 'talismanic textiles', this workshop will be slightly different, taking inspiration from the 'nomadic traces' exhibition i am part of (see previous post about the exhibition here). once again, participants will create stamps out of their designed motifs for printing repeat patterns onto plain textile surfaces. this time, participants will take inspiration from talismanic symbols and objects, as well as my contribution to the exhibition to create motifs and designs that communicate protection. for more info and to register (sorry guys, this one has a fee!), please head to the workshop page here.
hope to see you all at one (or both) of these workshops!
