Carol Naylor is an established textiles artist whom I studied a
lot throughout my second year of a-level. I focused on her work, as I love the
techniques she uses and the way she uses really beautiful colours on her wall
hangings and other pieces. For my project I decided to make a table set, but
using techniques I had seen Naylor use. I loved the way her pieces looked and
how beautifully composed they were and wanted to bring that to my work.
Although I wasn’t making a wall hanging, I definitely wanted to show the
artistic side to my table set by almost portraying Naylor’s techniques on to my
own work.
Her work is definitely something I will never forget as it was a
great influence on my own, and I am so happy with the outcome of my piece in
which got me a final exam grade of A. I believe that her techniques are
beautiful as are her pieces and really aspire to use them a lot more within my
textile work. Naylor is a great artist and I thank her for the inspiration.
Below are some images of my final
works for that project; I produced a tablecloth, a seat cushion, a table
runner, napkin, table mat and a coaster. All were produced using techniques
such as embroidery, applique, fabric painting, beading, reverse applique,
stitching and all on a large scale based on cotton.
