There is an exhibition of Henry Moore's textile designs at the Pallant House Gallery in Chichester which I went to see.
Henry moore is better known for his sculptures and as an official WW2 war artist but in 1943 he produced four sketchbooks of textile designs. He later collaberated with Zika Ascher and several of his designs were produced using the serigraphy process.
In this method each colour is pressed though a screen using a squeegee. This is done by hand and is time consuming.
In 2007 the Ascher family reprinted two of the designs for the refurbishment of Moore's house "Hoglands" using the original screens. These two desings were the ones Moore chose the use as curtains and in a book about the fabrics archive pictures of them in situ appear.
Fabric left over from this was given to Pallant house to mount and sell whilst the exhibition is on.There are 50 of each design and there will not be any more.
I WAS TEMPTED AND DID NOT RESIST! Each piece is about 18" square and well mounted and cost £60.I will have to get them framed but I'm delighted to have this connection with both Morre's past and mine because as an art students in the 1950's Moore was one of the artists who inspired us.
Playing off the Bloomerie Fabrics logo, I created a range of colors for this tossed flower print. A very pale pink background and an orangey-red flower.

What a wonderful nuno felt and then the shibori after that just worked wonders! This will make a grand Furoshiki wrapping cloth!
The class went to the Wisconsin State Herbarium and met with Mark Allen Wetter, Collections Manager and Curator. There, we learned about traditional plant survey methods, handled specimens, and looked at early field journals that included handwritten notes and many beautiful drawings. Students had a chance to see collected samples of the plants that they would be looking for and collecting later in the field.
