Surface Pattern Design with Rachel Moore 🎨
Dive into surface pattern design - a creative process of developing designs, usually repeated patterns, that are applied to surfaces like paper or fabric. We’ll start with simple motifs, carving them into lino blocks or polystyrene sheets, and then layer these elements to build multi-layered patterns. In this session print artist, Rachel Moore, will demonstrate how different textures and colours interact, allowing you to create intricate, cohesive patterns suitable for decorating fabric and wrapping paper.
Rachel has been running print making workshops for children and adults since 2005. She usually holds workshops at her studio in Rochester High Street but since 2020 has taken a lot of them online. Techniques taught include screen printing, linocut, Gelli printing and cyanotype. Rachel likes to demystify printmaking and tries to show how, with just a few common items and cheats, you can create fabulous prints.
