TSTG at London Printworks Trust!

 

 

Pat Albeck, Counter Feat, London Printworks Trust, 2011.

We're delighted to announce that TSTG joins the iconic London Printworks Trust for the 

Slow Design School Stitch & Book Club this weekend!

Our Slow Design School students follow in the footsteps of Great British designers such as Pat Albeck, Holly Fulton, Jonathan Saunders, Eley Kishimoto and Zandra Rhodes who have all worked with London Printworks Trust to develop their stunning textile collections! 

Each of those designer's work is so diverse, and many others' who have worked with LPT,  yet all display a mix of lyricism, wit and energy that is quintessentially British. That's what makes them so timeless, iconic and desirable!

The London Printworks Trust is synonymous with nurturing and promoting these qualities so it is with great excitement and honour that TSTG has their first Practice+Theory event there this Saturday!

There's no advert for this event as it's exclusive to the Slow Design School Programme however, we'll be putting some pics on Twitter for you to enjoy!

Co-created Virtual Patchwork by TSTG!

The Slow Textiles Group spent a great weekend inspired by Liberty's of London quilt-maker, Katherine May teaching hands-on fabric geometrics.

Then, following TSTG director, Emma Neuberg's instruction in how to convert these into digital animations, members of the Slow Textiles Group worked together on the first ever co-created virtual digital patchwork! 

Kate, Geraldine, Katie, Christina, Pennina, Manda, Red, Veronica, Emma, Susana and Tania thought they'd share this first incarnation of it with you here! This represents the first international virtual 'patchwork' animated and created internationally in an afternoon by top textile designers!

The workshop concluded with a series of textile animator, Tania Grace Knuckey's extraordinary, poetic, evocative and stunning textile animations in the Print Room Cinema! Much excitement, dialogue and future thinking was set in motion in anticipation of TSTG Geometrics Season: Symposium, Exhibition and Catalogue 2013!
