Curso postgrado (Artes Aplicadas) – Textile postgraduate course at the Escola Massana, Barcelona 2021/22 – Curso

(Traducción al castellano al final)

Here´s a sneak preview of final work by postgraduate textile students, Escola Massana, 2021/22 by –

Nicole Betancourt (Chile), Jimena Barrenechea (Peru), Steven Bolaños (Colombia) and Angela Luesma (España).

The postgraduate one-year course, is unique in Spain, in that it aims to bring students together from different disciplines, including Fine Art, Industrial Design or Craft, to focus on a hands-on, materials-based, intensive encounter with textiles, ceramics/glass or jewellery – leading to a maduration of, and new directions in their professional work.  As such, it seeks to focus on a cross-disciplinary approach, rather than to refine and develop work in the students´ existing area of expertise.

The 2021/22 course, led in the Massana´s weave studio by British textile weaver and designer Anna Champeney, gave students an intensive hands-on practical and theoretical and artistic introduction to shaft-loom woven textiles, enriched by a short module with Francesca Pinyol, in computer-assisted Jacquard weaving.

The course challenged students to use their creativity and curiosity to take their projects beyond the traditional confines of woven textiles, and draw on inspiration and influences from a range of influences and inspirations.

View the results at Artesanía de Catalunya, c/Banys Nous, Barcelona, in the final end-of-course show, which launches on 28 September 2022.  

Aqui subimos unos detalles de obras finales realizados por estudiantes del postgrado, (prof. Anna Champeney, BA, MA), en la Escola Massana, Barcelona, Catalunya por (en orden alfabético):

Jimena Barrenechea (Peru)

Nicole Betancourt (Chile)

Steven Bolaños (Colombia)

Angela Luesma (España).

El curso de Artes Aplicadas, de un año de duración, es unico en España, y tiene, como objetivo, juntar estudiantes de diferentes disciplinas – Bellas Artes, Diseño Industrial, Artesanía, para experimentar un encuentro intensivo con el textil (telar de bajo lizo / telar digital).  Los estudiantes reciben una iniciación intensiva, con charlas sobre el diseño y arte textil (y otros modulos teoricos, y de signaturas orientadas a ayudarles en temas profesionales).  Pero el enfoque principal es el proyecto final, con el reto de crear obras que unen una visión artistica y individual con el conocimiento del lenguaje textil adquirido en el taller.  La idea es fomentar un proceso de maduración y exploración artística.

El curso de 2021/22, dirigido en el taller por especialista en tejido de bajo lizo, británica Anna Champeney, dió a los estudiantes, la oportunidad de recibir una iniciación práctica y teórica intensiva a la creación textil en telares de bajo lizo, suplementado por un modulo con telar digital con Francesca Pinyol.

Los proyectos que resultaron reflejaban temas tan diversas como el textil como paisaje, el textil tres dimensional, la únión del textil con la pintura, y el textil como vehiculo del activismo feminista, con lecturas en diversos niveles – tanto conceptual, como técnico.

!Enhorabuena!

Se presentan los resultados del postgrado en Artes Aplicadas de la Escola Massana (textil o ceramica/vidrio o joyería) en una exposición en Artesanía de Catalunya, c/Banys Nous, Barcelona.  Se inaugura el 28 de septiembre, 2022.

Spain for Design – 10 Best Blankets “Made in Spain”

Thanks for featuring our merino throws, Spain for Design, in your online feature!  / Muchas gracias por incluirnos en el articulo “10 best blankets to snuggle up in”.

Spain for Design interview and feature with Anna Champeney blankets / Articulo online con plaids Anna ChampeneyThe UK has devoted years to develop an international image based on the quality and identity of its contemporary craft and design.  But until now Spain´s best designers and makers have gone almost unrecognised.  Spain for Design plans to change that.  About time too!  

El Reino Unido ha dedicado muchos años a fomentar una identidad internacional enfocada al diseño y artesanía contemporánea de calidad.   Pero fuera (y también dentro) del país, las creaciones y marcas de diseño artesanal van casi despercibidas.

Spain for Design quiere cambiar esto y dar a conocer la calidad de productos diseñadas y elaboradas en España.  !Enhorabuena!

We´re back at Festivalet, Barcelona – 11 & 12 December 2021

If you´re in Barcelona in December come to see us at Festivalet

It´s one of the city´s favourite christmas design and contemporary craft fairs and is back after an absence of 2 years. 

 

Selling direct to the public, this design and craft fair is in a new venue, in the vibrant Fabra & Coats building in the Sant Andreu area – a short hop on the metro from the city centre.  It reminds me of the Custard Factory in Birmingham, the UK, where I used to work.  A similar concept – using previous industrial buildings as art and design venues.

This year you´ll find all our favourite textiles – our soft merino throws and blankets, baby blankets with natural dyes, and limited edition cashmere and merino wool scarves.  All with our graphic, contemporary designs.

So come and find solutions for christmas – and support talented Spanish and Catalan makers and designers with your purchases.

 

This is the first time our Ribeira Sacra scarves go on sale

How to get to Festivalet

Metro: L1 (Sant Andreu)

Bus: 11, 40, N9, H4, H8 i 126

Brexit – we are sorry not to be able to supply our direct clients in the UK any more

However, just as many small businesses in the UK are unable to supply clients direct in Europe post Brexit we are unable to supply private clients in the UK via our website any more.  This is a direct result of Britain leaving the EU – the additional burocracy, costs, difficultings with shipping, simply cannot be supported by a small craft-based company like ours.   Nor will we be able to participate in shows such as Made London.  We´re very sorry about this, it´s the inevitable result of leaving the European trading block.
