My Experimentation With Surface Textile Techniques

As part of this project I have learnt various different surface textiles techniques such as Felting, Devore, Foil print and Laser cutting. Foil print is created by applying a glue to fabric in a pattern using a textile screen and then placing a sheet of metallic foil over the top and pressing it at a high heat, over 200 degrees to stick the foil to the glue. This is an example of a star foil print I created which I would like to use in my final design. 


The other technique which I particularly liked was Devore, this is a process where an acid is applied to a garment through a  textiles screen creating a pattern, the acid then eats away the natural fibres leaving a gauze like fabric and the areas without acid are raised creating a patterned fabric. This is an image of one of my samples. I would like to use this a technique in my final design.

  1. I like how you have talked about the techniques and told your readers what you thought about them and that you want to include them in your final design.
