Combine and reuse pieces of fabric to create unique textile pieces
The patchwork is a thousand-year-old textile technique that consists of joining pieces of fabric to create a larger design, often materialized in a blanket, a tablecloth or even clothing.
Zita Chocarro - founder of Hamabi Design - is one of the leading designers of what she calls contemporary patchwork , a twist to the traditional techniques that surround the world of patchwork and that will teach you in this Domestika course.
What's included in this course?
You will start by getting to know your teacher, Zita Chocarro, her artistic influences, her passion for textiles and her work in the Hamabi brand of blankets and textile objects.
You will discover the world of patchwork contemporary and the difference with the traditional one. You will meet textile artists who are currently working in the medium and you will see how they have modernized it, in order to inspire you and see the infinite possibilities that a few well-mixed fabrics offer.
With these ideas, you will start designing your project. First, you will look for an image and learn about moodboards , to have a starting point. From there, you will decide the range of color, some general shapes and the fabrics that you will need for the design of the bag. For this, you will learn two different techniques of work: collage or work at scale and free or improvisational composition.
Once the design is decided, you will start working with the fabrics. You will see how to prepare them, the necessary tools and the order in the work, something essential in the patchwork.
You will work piece by piece and step by step until you have the final fabric. With this final fabric you will make a bag, but you will also see the many possibilities it has and a lot of ideas to apply them.
What is this course project?
You will create a patchwork bag with your own design and range of colors.

Presenta cómo hacer un único producto, un bolso, pero lo que más me interesó es ver el patchwork desde una perspectiva más creativa e innovadora
