Bernat Klein: Where Does Colour Travel?

During this workshop we will delve into the creative work of Bernat and Margaret Klein. We will theoretically deconstruct couture tweeds, yarn and other textiles in depth, by exploring archive photography and physical pieces to seek the essence of Klein’s work whilst deepening our knowledge and understanding of the key processes used in Klein’s work. We will identify patterns in Klein’s colour use, choice of yarn types and the composition of colour and textures on a fabric’s surface.

During the practical session of the workshop, we will aim to reconstruct the colour patterns and textures found. In keeping with our own creative practices, we will create a blended colour chart using mixed materials, which will be tinted to the hues of your choice.
