SUMMARY:Bluecoat Display Centre: Bluecoat Display Centre: Michael Brennand-
 Wood workshop
DESCRIPTION:Michael Brennand-Wood workshop\nSunday 30th April 2017\n\nLines
  of Thought – Three-Dimensional Threads for Textiles with Michael Brenn
 and-Wood\n\nSunday 30th April 2017\n\nTime : 11.15am – 4.15pm\n\nPrice :
  £45 (£39 BDC Friends &amp\; concs.)\n\nBOOK HERE\n\nWe are delighted to
  have the renowned textile artist Michael Brennand-Wood to host a workshop
  here. Michael will also be exhibiting in our Protégés exhibition at th
 e Display Centre and the workshop will begin with a brief introduction by 
 him to his latest work featuring in the show.\n\nThis one-day workshop wil
 l focus on the creation of a bespoke collection of three-dimensional lines
  and threads. Participants will create a personal vocabulary of expressive
  linear experiments that may well become part of future works.\n\nTechnica
 lly we will look at twisting\, binding\, joining\, collage\, elasticity\, 
 knotting and tension. Conceptual sources will include references to select
 ed artists whose work has a distinctive linear approach\, object writing\,
  calligraphy\, ideograms\, graphic scores and rhythmic imagery derived fro
 m the musical and natural world.\n\nParticipants will be encouraged to dev
 elop original solutions in relation to the core aims of the workshop\; thi
 s is not a technical or prescriptive course. Emphasis will be placed on th
 e investigation and research of personal imagery and the development of re
 lated technical innovation\, ideas that can be developed at a later stage.
 \n\nAt the close of the workshop I would like to have a short group evalua
 tion to discuss what has been achieved. The purpose of this final session 
 is to share results and to set a personal agenda as to what might be conti
 nued and developed back your home studios.\n\nDescriptively\, a thread is 
 a long\, thin\, cylindrical strand of cotton\, wool or synthetic fiber use
 d in embroidery\, weaving\, spinning or sewing. It may also refer to a the
 me or narrative running through a story or novel. Within computing termino
 logy it describes the linking together of separate elements and messages. 
 A thread is also the ridge on the outside of a metal screw or bolt\; it fa
 cilitates the joining of two parts together. Threads have therefore both a
  practical and descriptive dimension\; they unite materials\, create surfa
 ces and combine ideas and themes together\, allowing connections to be mad
 e between disparate sources. The majority of threads used in textiles are 
 still to a large extent sourced from shops and other suppliers. I have alw
 ays been of the opinion that a personal or adapted thread facilitates a mo
 re expressive constructional starting point at the onset of a textile proc
 ess.\n\nPlease bring…\n\n• Frame i.e. old picture frame or similar to 
 stretch lines/threads on whilst you are working on them\, so it can be rou
 gh\n\n• A collection of linear materials\, that you enjoy using and whic
 h are relevant to your investigation e.g.: wires\, threads\, string and wo
 ol\, fabrics\, paints\, drawing media\, a personal paint/work/tool box\n\n
 • Camera/Phone to record work\n\n• Some basic tools\, scissors\, needl
 es\, paint brushes etc
