For visual studies we were asked to visit Birmingham to look at the "Lost in Lace" Exhibition. Because I am moving on to Weave rotation next week I was looking at patterns and lines that could be used in my weave designs. I found swirls, circles and flower images were very strong in lace so I will focus on this kind of style and create my woven samples related to the lace theme.
I found the Exhibition very inspiring for myself as I love lace and detail. The exhibition was small and very laid out full of space to walk around and look everywhere. I could touch little samples of the full scale displays which allowed me to discover the fabric and texture. I could walk through huge walls of lace and see a computerised structure of lace that changed colour on a timer, the colours used were neon and I really liked this effect so it could be useful for my own work.
Below is a link to a slide show of some of the photos I took on my trip to Birmingham
