Cas Holmes

Cas Holmes uses sketchbooks and books to compile her ideas and experiments

Look at her sketchbook for ideas to include in your own project

Her work is often created by merging & layering textile surfaces together with sewn images added on top

Holmes often produces a series of pieces to be hung together in a sequence…

…or her work is designed to fill a space – this type of work is sometimes called ‘installation art’

Emily Barlettaemilybarletta.com

Emily Barletta’s work is full of shapes & texture – you need to look very close up to appreciate the fine detail

Barletta combines her shapes into irregular forms – her work is often quite small in scale as it is produced by crocheting

Barletta’s blog contains her visual inspiration and drawings from her sketchbooks; find it at…emilybarletta.blogspot.co.uk

…but some of her work is 3-D and almost abstract in content

Graham explores the3-D properties of felt & hanging sculptural forms
