What other teachers have said about Nicky's workshops:
‘I have taken part in the Textile Skills Centre courses ran by Nicky. They have been instrumental in the design of my course, the resources that are provided along with the course enabled me to create a high-quality scheme of work for my KS4 curriculum and since starting with this course textiles has been the highest performing subject in our academy for 5 years running, without the inspirational, hands on courses and practical resources I’m not sure I would have achieved this.’
‘The creativity of the outcomes in year 11 is massively down to the courses I have done with Textile Skills centre, I would say the courses have had a huge outcome on the standard and creativity of my Year 11's work and already I can see even bigger improvements with Year 10 - they are going to be an amazing year group!’

BLENDED ONLINE COURSE WITH OPTION TO JOIN LIVE SESSIONS
Series 3: Experimental Image Making
NEXT LIVE START DATE:  TBC (Zoom details sent out with booking)
TIMES: 19:00 - 20:30 (Every Wednesday for 5 Weeks)
FEES: FULL COURSE £85
RELEASE DATE: The online content will be available from mid-April 2024
NB This course is available to anyone at any time. If you want to join in the live sessions, you can, but not obligatory. They are however fun and you get to ask questions to Nicola and connect with other like-minded attendees. The LIVE sessions are all recorded and uploaded to use as reference or to watch back, so don't worry if you can't make any of them. 



Join Nicola Perren of Perren Studios for a new set of classes in the Drawing for Textiles series. The 3rd of the series will see us explore and expand our approaches to drawing based on a subject matter of your choosing. With an experimental approach to image-making we will explore materials, composition, creating drama and the secretive art of gouache paint. Finally, we will explore hand applique as a direct translation of our drawings and, as a drawing process in itself.



If you have completed the first two of the series, that is great. The 1st one will have connected drawing to textiles very clearly, the 2nd will have given you scope to expand your source materials and inspiration. While I recommend you do these, the 3rd in the series will also work very well on its own.
With a focus on drawing, we will continue to question the properties of textile materials whilst generating a portfolio of drawings suitable for a new design collection and textile developments. Using experimentation, restriction, abstraction, play and sensory observation, we will aim to create a dynamic portfolio of work that reflects a personally chosen colour palette.



The course content will be launched in April and available online for you to access in your own time. There is also the opportunity to do a live session linked to each of the five units in the course on a Wednesday evening [12th June - 10th July, 7.00 – 8.30pm UK time]. The live session is great for asking questions, get further tips and insight and as most previous participants comment ‘it’s just great to have 1.5 hours put aside to just draw, play, have fun and relax each week’.




COURSE OVERVIEW:
Sometimes, we miss that vital stage between initial drawn studies or notes and the final designing process, the 3rd in this series of Drawing for Textiles will be about exploring drawing and image-making. It will be experimental, playful, engaging and colourful.



WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR:
This course is suitable for anyone, from those new to textiles, through to experienced makers who want to explore or refresh ways of thinking. You may be a teacher or lecturer looking to recharge your creative batteries, a student who wants to further your current knowledge, or maybe outside of formal education and fancy trying something outside of your usual remit.
You may have already completed series 1 or 2, if so, it is great to have you back on board but equally, this course can be completed without having done the previous series.



WHAT TO EXPECT:
The focus of this course will be on the creation of images and drawings that can stand alone in a project’s development and / or be the inspiration for translation into design and textiles. We will explore composition, abstraction and drama with a hint of expressiveness.
Aside from learning about hand stitched applique, you will also learn about stretching paper and how to work with Gouache paints.
You will select a subject matter of your own choosing, if you have done the 2nd in the series – you may want to use your artefacts to draw from. I recommend a format of drawing from a still life for this series and we will discuss how to make your still life dynamic and visually engaging, if you prefer however, you can draw from secondary sources. I will provide colour story options or, you may choose a story of your own. If you can have these items prepped before starting the units, that is helpful – but not a requirement.
This course is taught over 5 units, each unit is presented with a collection of recorded tasks, materials required and a short presentation that introduces the concepts for that unit. With the launch of the course, there will also be the opportunity to join any of the weekly live online evening sessions.
My way of teaching is relaxed, and I am told engaging, so while you will find plenty of opportunities for learning and considering different approaches, it is also enjoyable and can be completed according to your own timescale, energy and needs.




WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
This course does make use of a wide range of materials and tools, as with all my teaching, I offer alternatives to what I am doing in the class. You can do this course often with items you may already have around the house / in the garage but equally, you can by items specifically for the course. 
Below is a list of key items that I will use [in bold] and alternatives you may consider, it is all optional [detailed list will be supplied once you sign up].
I suggest you gather materials that link to your chosen colour story, if you do not have these – do not worry, but it is helpful.
General drawing materials: 
Pencils
Pens
Inks
Tapes
Glue
Bleach
Tools: 
Scissors
Brushes
Scalpel / craft knife
Cutting Mat
Ruler
Drawing board [if stretching paper]
Big water pot
Iron + board or mat.
Sewing needles
Grounds: 
Loose papers – various from scraps to cartridge paper
Cartridge paper
Sketchbook for recording / documenting work in
Paints:
Designer Gouache [Winsor & Newton, Daler Rowney, Schmincke] – NOT acrylic gouache. These paints are not particularly cheap and so my preference is to buy a few selected tubes according to the colours of the current project rather than a selection box with shades I will not use.
Textiles: 
Fabric and a selection of pieces about A4 size suitable for appliqué.
Sewing threads – general haberdashery items.
Fabric glue stick [optional]
A fusible interfacing – I use Floriani Stitch’n’Wash, Tearaway Fusible




PROGRAMME:
Once you have signed up to the full course, you will have access to a full materials list and a video to help you prepare before you join a session, this will include an approach to starting the project i.e., gathering visual references, selecting a colour story, stretching paper. You will have access to all 5 units in this program and there is also access to a few free additional sessions.
PRE-COURSE MATERIALS:
A] Pre-session planning. This video should be watched before you start the course to help you prepare and gather the things you will need. 
SERIES PROGRAMME:
Session 1] Abstracting the Mark.
We will jump straight into image making with a focus on mark-making and consideration of the non-white ground and your chosen colour story.
Session 2] Composing an Image.
Considering our chosen subject matters, we will explore compositions that engage the viewer and are perhaps unexpected.
Session 3] Gouache De-Mystified.
We will learn about designer gouache paint and a few different approaches to its use – all whilst developing our image-making folio.
Session 4] Added Drama.
Working with a range of media, we will add a touch of the theatrical to our drawings – this will be a messy session.
Session 5] Applique as Drawing.
We will learn about hand-based applique methods and will work towards a new image that utilises textiles as the core medium [with a little bit of a drawn materials intervention].



LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Each session will have a core focus that can be explored in isolation or as part of an overall series of activities. 
Understand a creative, action-based approach to research and ideas suitable for further development [for a design or, arts-based direction].
Develop confidence and enhance your skills in drawing, in its widest sense, as a tool for textiles.
Explore the pairing of both traditional and experimental approaches in a creative textile orientated practice.

Learn the unique techniques of the fascinating art of Goldwork Embroidery with a comprehensive design that samples essential specialised goldwork stitches and techniques.
Goldwork is mainly "laid work", much different to other embroidery techniques in that the threads and wires tend to be laid on the fabric rather than stitched through. The result of this is a very rewarding and highly textured finish.

Learning to crochet in the round is essential for all sorts of crochet projects - amigurumi, softies, hats, bags, granny squares . . . I won't pretend it's easy, but it's not as tricky as you might think! 
The 3 bears will be a fun introduction to the principles of crocheting continuously in the round. We'll look at magic rings, even increasing and the single crochet stitch (US terms). We'll also have a little go at other ways to crochet in the round, try some join-as-you-go and creating fancy edging using the single crochet stitch in reverse (crab stitch). 
Depending on your ability you can join me for Week 1 then finish off in your own time, or you can come back for seconds and we can finish off together the following week.
Week 1 | The ears and the start of the bear basket
Week 2 | The muzzle and finishing off
You'll need to have access to ZOOM and the materials listed below to crochet-along. This is a great make for absolute beginners, adventurous beginners looking to push their crochet to the next level, but also fab for refreshing forgotten skills or if you just fancy having a go. Classes are kept small so it's not too overwhelming and everyone gets plenty attention and the opportunity to ask questions.
What you'll need to craft along . . .
yarn - anything from double-knit to super-chunky*
a crochet hook that's around 1/2 the size recommended for your yarn
other yarn for features and embroidered details
stitch markers
2 x 4mm round black beads
a big eye needle and a fine eye needle
black thread
scissors
a bowl of porridge, or a cuppa tea and a biscuit

Round and round the garden, like a teddy bear  . . . a fun and functional project for having a go at crocheting in the round . . .

Saturdays 13th April and 11th May 2024 - 13h00 to 16h00. This class is taught in two sessions of 3h00 (6h00 in total)
Goldwork has been taken to the next level with this contemporary design. Incognito demonstrates how you can mix traditional techniques with contemporary embroidery to create a delight in texture and colour.We will begin by introducing the string padding for the linear work. 
In the second stage, you will be learning how to stitch the beads, sequins and crystals. Finally, you will stitch the silver grid next with smooth silver purl and gold rough purl.
In the second session, we will practise how to stitch the essing with gold and silver purl including the transitions from a thicker to a thinner part on the design. The crystals on settings will be added last to create some depth and sparkle.
Some pre-work prior to the class is required. Stitching the gold and silver pearl purls will be required prior to the class to allow time for more challenging steps in the class. The kit and detailed instructions will be send 1 month before the class starts to allow time for you to do the pre-work.
