32 LET’S TAKE A WALK… in the city This new trend focuses on the principles of urban architecture. The linear frontage of housing blocks and the strips and plots in a typical street grid are the source of inspiration. Based on this, paper collages in geometric sections or woven bead bracelets with versatile colour changes are created. Old shirts and blouses can be upcycled with knitted cuffs with block stripes, for example. Whether it’s interweaving paper or fabric in wickerwork or if it’s the textile design of careful patchwork: geometry sends clear signals. LET’S TAKE A WALK… in the forest A walk through the autumnal forest is relaxing, because the quiet observation and the seasonal colours encourage creativity. Foliage, leaves and plants are collected and fixed with blueprint on paper or photosensitive fabric. Naturalistic plant prints can be created using chlorophyll and capturing the delicacy of the plants. Enamel is back and magical colour effects are baked in at high temperatures, to look like autumn leaves. Whether as a ceramic imprint, knitted for the next walk or annealed in the oven: in the coming season, the forest will enchant in all its facets. LET’S TAKE A WALK… in the garden Be inspired by mother nature: Everything that’s harvested from the garden beds serve as a motif. Fruit, vegetables, flowers, tendrils, and herbs can be embellished as embroidered appliqués on a garden smock or apron. A great motif is the strawberry, but tomatoes and radishes also join the party. In ceramics, vegetables from the garden also serve as a motif and decorate painted plates. Whether painted, knitted, embroidered or modelled: The range of creative techniques is huge. This is also reflected in the creative work with mosaic made from matte glass shards. Carrots or turnips are set out from orange, yellow and green mosaic tiles and grouted with filler. LET’S TAKE A WALK... in the garden brings the richness of nature to life in a creative way.
