Camberwell Space is pleased to present exciting new work by artists created during their Artists Access to Art College Scheme (AA2A) at Camberwell College of Arts and Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2010. Including:

Joyce Addai-Davis is a weaver who set out as a part of her residency to weave a garment layplan with a specially engineered textile design on a Jacquard Loom. She enlisted fashion designer Emma Hamshare who works engineering laser-cut designs to garment pattern pieces. ‘What you see is a scaled model of the resulting garment pieces orbiting each other. The layplan consists of the individual components of a garment laid flat. Designing the textile pattern to fit the garment perfectly reduces waste to create a streamlined method of production for custom made garments.’

Clara Vuletich is a printed textile designer and a researcher in sustainable textile design exploring ideas of material reuse, digital craft techniques and Slow design. For this project, Vuletich is further investigating her interest in combining traditional textile printing techniques such as screen and block printing with digital print technology and the possibilities of digitally printing onto recycled textiles. Using a collection of personal and valued textile fragments for design inspiration, and the title 'Fragments', the artist will explore the ‘emotional durability’ of textiles and pattern.
