The Houndstooth Project is a collaborative, egalitarian, ludic textile research initiative set up by Jo Pierce and Philippa Brock (Studio Houndstooth). Both Jo and Philippa experienced textile designers with portfolio practices also are Senior Lectures at Central Saint Martins, running the Print and Woven Textile Departments part time on the BA (Hons) Textile Design.
The Houndstooth Project uses the ubiquitous houndstooth textile motif as a design thinking approach and methodology development.
Aims
The workshop aims to create a thinking and dialogue space with other designers, in which to consider your current designing or making approaches and for participants to leave with a refreshed direction or new applications for your ideas. There will be a playful approach to making throughout the two days.
Through ludic hands on making and discussion, the workshop will offer a cross disciplinary exploration and response to design process. Based on the ideas and experiences of co design and collaboration, peer review will be used within the workshop.
Investigate your own notions of houndstooth; bring your approach, either from the field of textiles or other disciplines as a way to consider the values and qualities of the production of a motif.
Day One
Having had an initial introduction into drawing out single and multiple repeats of the houndstooth motif, you will be encouraged to explore design process using a range of supplied making materials and media, in both 2d and 3d. This day will be a chance to engage in dialogue with other makers and how each partcipant approaches the houndstooth.
Materials will be provided – please bring a camera
Day Two
Taking what you learnt from day one and applying your own developed houndstooth method to your practice, this day will be an opportunity for your to consider and/or develop a new approach in relation to your practice. You will be encouraged to bring your own sketchbooks and materials related to your own practice to the second day of the workshop.
Materials – Please bring a selection of your own, more familiar materials used in your development process and making practice, or inspired by day one. This could include drawing or making materials, 2d or 3d materials, analogue or digital outcomes. Camera and sketchbook.
