Design Matters

I have just completed module 1 from Design Matters TV, devised by Linda and Laura Kemshall. I started this online course as I wanted to develop my sketchbook skills to inform any future textile work as opposed to following a commercial design or pattern. It's also to support a textile course I attend on a weekly basis where we are expected to use and develop a sketchbook as a basis for our designs.....well, as I didn't even know what that really implied I thought I'd better find out. So far, it's a fantastic course and I have learned masses already! I'm now ready to start module 2 but a little taste of what from module 1 where we were encouraged to draw basic objects from our home.
