One Shell – Kate Horner
16 July – 14 September
Each summer at ArtyBird, we film our Creative Textile suite of courses. Soon my shell became the focus and star of them – surprising us on how inspiring just one shell can be.
This is a special shell, one that my husband brought me back from his travels. My M.E. limits me so his gifts are special – expressions of love.
Here is my exhibition of the design work made in the making of our on-line courses, yet it goes beyond this as my friends, colleagues and students have expanded these in their own fabric explorations, sharing with us their insights through Sampling for Design.
It is a lively, rich display of ideas, some developed, but rarely resolved. They are techniques I use to discover knowledge about the way I see my shell – hopefully you will find techniques you would enjoy in developing your own work.
