Getting the measurements and lines correct in this piece I made recently for #thefutureofcraft @oxotowerwharf with @design_nationuk and @futureicons_ for @londoncraftweek . I unstitched and re-stitched so as to make sure all the lines and angles were lined up and to my satisfaction. This part can be very time consuming, especially on a large hanging of three or more sections. The fabric moves, even though I tack the pieces in place. I have this challenge all the way through, especially if the composition has lots of geometric shapes within it. The steaming and washing shrinks the fabric and often changes the straight lines and angles as the fabric re-adjusts itself. Then I add in the extra challenge of joining fabrics together, all with different shrinkage rates. I do love a challenge though 😁. #michellehouse #michellehouseprints #textileart #textileartist #artistsprocess #handprinted #designnation #londoncraftweek #bespokedesign #collectart #artforwalls #luxurycraft #handmade #madebyhand #londonartist #measurements #oneoffdesign #artcommissions #designer #interiordesign #artforinteriors #workinprogress #artinprogress #geometricdesign #artcollector #londonexhibition

Some of you visiting the #futureofcraft @oxotowerwharf exhibition have asked me if I can work bigger. The answer is yes, I often work MUCH bigger. These pieces were commissioned by the #BritishAcademy through @caagallery for their art collection and on the recommendation of Sir Nicholas Goodison. They are hand-printed on to linens and cottons. Each wall-hanging is made up of three printed sections of differently textured fabric. They measure around 290cm in height and are weighted at the bottom within the hand-stitched lining. More info can be found on my news page, link in bio, or on my page on the British Academy website. The British Academy building at 10-11 Carlton Terrace in St James’s, is open to the public from Monday-Friday. They have a wonderful art collection including works by #sirterryfrost , #gillianayres and @helenyardleystudio as well as ceramics. Last chance today to catch The Future of Craft Exhibition at @oxotowerwharf with @design_nationuk and @futureicons_ with workshops by @yodomo.co and a talks program supported by @heals_furniture part of @londoncraftweek . #michellehouse #michellehouseprints #designnation #londoncraftweek #lcw2019 #oxotower #commissions #artcollector #artcollection #bespokedesign #commissionart #oneoffdesign #handprinted #wallhanging #textileart #textileartist #sitespecificart #luxurycraft #madebyhand #handmade #colour #artforwalls #abstractart #artist
