Playing with Pojagi

 

The 'Transfer of Affections' piece using blue embroidery transfers, partially stitched, and combined with pojagi style piecing. This was exhibited at Textile East 2023 as part of the Spotlight Textiles exhibition.

Using cotton organdie which takes procion dye extremely well and has a lovely crisp quality which is prefect for Pojagi


Trasnfer of Affections will be exhibited as part of the Spotlight Textiles exhibition 'Spotlight on....Heritage' at the Pond Gallery, Snape Maltings, Suffolk IP17 1SP from 28th April - 3rd May 2023



This piece is loosely inspired by the Gerhard Richter stained glass windows in Cologne Cathedral where the sun casts a glorious coloured light on the marble floor. In Pojagi the double-sided seams form an integral part of the design with the colour mixing of dyed fabrics.

This is a sample for the one day workshop 'Playing with Pojagi' at The Cosy Cabin https://www.thecosycabin.co.uk/workshops-events/  on Tuesday 14th March 2023.
