Top print designer leads a workshop with the University of Bolton fashion students

Students from the BA Textiles and Surface Design course have been lucky enough to take part in a design lead workshop with one of the top print designers in the industry.

Davinder Madaher, a Print designer, Consultant, and Lecturer with over 25 years of design experience in both Fashion and Homeware, joined first-year students for both an online and on-campus workshop session, where he shared his techniques and approaches to painting florals; using a range of processes including ink washes, masking and painting directly by hand.

The aim of the workshop was for students to use these skills to explore upcoming print trends alongside Davinder, including around the topic 'euphoric' which, according to the fashion industry, is the theme for Spring/Summer 2021.

Students then spent the session working on a range of brightly coloured floral patterns for garment shapes, as well as a series of flat patterns which are now exhibited in the Atrium gallery studio window. A series of these design lead studies will also be transformed into digitally-printed fabrics later on in the semester.
