PAINTING PATTERNS
4th September 2024
6.30pm-8.30pm
Artist and Surface Pattern Designer, Bethan Wyn Williams, comes to treowe to share a little of her creative dust with would-be pattern painters. Bethan specialises in hand-crafting exquisite, intricately detailed repeating pattern designs for luxury textiles, wallpaper, and home accessories. Her beautifully coloured and detailed work has been noted by collaborators and exhibitions such as Fortnum and Mason, The Contemporary Crafts Fair, and Mayfair Jewellers, Garrard.
In this workshop with a botanical theme, participants will be sketching from floral displays using different drawing materials on paper. Guided by Bethan, you will then work on designing a repeating pattern on paper, taking elements from the original sketches. Bethan takes inspiration from the landscape of her native rural North Wales, as well as the dramatic embellishment of the Arts and Crafts movement. With her expert guidance, you will encapsulate the magic of the natural world, creating stunning designs inspired by a run of beautiful flowers, with all the materials you need provided.
