But what happens if we take it a step further and bring in simple textile techniques...
Founder of the No Rules Textile Society, designer, author and creator of online courses that always ask...
I have 30 years of experience, designing innovative, conceptual samples for clients ranging from Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga to John Lewis and Boden.
I love discovering new techniques and mixing them up and sharing them with you! For the last two years, I have been exploring all the possibilities of the gel plate, using it on and with textiles...
Watch 'over my shoulder' as I explore the possibilities of gel plate printing when combined with textiles.
Get inspired, pause the video, go off on tangents and work at your own pace.
Let's create beautiful prints that reveal the structure of our textiles. Then take the paint-covered textiles and celebrate their beauty. Use them and push all the possibilities.
Creativity just leads to more creativity and this quick, impatient printing process is just perfect for getting into creative flow! In fact it's just a little bit addictive...
How can we justify playing anyway when all around us people ask, what’s it going to be or what’s it for?
Play is absolutely essential for discovering our own unique style . We discover what makes our hearts sing and what doesn’t, both are equally important.
What if there is no agenda? Just the pure fun of experimenting, embracing happy accidents...
Magic happens when you do this. You embark on a path that nourishes you and in turn you begin to create work that lights you up and learn what really doesn’t. This has an effect on our happiness not just in our textiles but in our whole life.
The course is made up of 6 hours of bite-sized inspirational lessons that you get to keep and have life-time access* to dip in and out of.
The course is not perfectly filmed, sometimes the table wobbles and my roller squeaks... but it is PACKED with ideas to IGNITE your imagination!!
All my online courses have comments boxes under the lessons where you can ask questions, share work or ideas. There is also a private Facebook group. I am very present both in the course comments and on social media, you can also email me jayne@norulestextilesociety.com
I offer monthly Open Studio Hours on Zoom for all my course participants and you will be invited to join these should you wish to pop along and chat.
In my No Rules Textile Society membership we meet for weekly Zooms to discuss our work and ideas, if you would like regular accountability, support and a wonderful like-minded tribe this is perfect. You can book private 1-2-1 sessions with me, if you would like more tailored feedback, inspiration or advice.
You are more than welcome to share images of your work on social media. It would be wonderful if you could mention me, as it helps other find my courses and in turn allows me to continue making a living as an artist. Please do not share, copy or distribute any of the course content. Also, if you create work that is clearly based on my demonstration pieces please do not attempt to sell it as ‘yours’. Jump off from these starting points and make the work your own :)
Please don't directly share details of the processes that I teach. By all means, share the work you create though and please do tag me in so that I can see it and share it too!
If you would like to share the content with your group or educational establishment, get in touch and we can discuss a licensing agreement.
You can also book me for talks and workshops, both online and in person.
You can email me anytime jayne@norulestextilesociety.com
