Workshop · Folding / Textile Design with Dewi Brunet at ARBA-ESA Exploration of folding/pleating through the lens of color, texture, and volume
When · 23/01/2023
Where · ARBA-ESA
We had the opportunity to lead a week-long workshop within the textile design department of ARBA-ESA. We shared our research on folding, volume, color, and texture with the students, yielding positive and intriguing results. By integrating exercises inspired by artists and scientists such as Biruta Kresling—known for her compressed tubular folding—and Josef Albers, who experimented freely with newspapers, the students gained a fresh perspective on materiality and three-dimensional form.
