Sunny Todd Print Workshop

Sunny Todd Print Workshop

I took acetate and cut out a heart that I drew quickly so that my design wasn't perfect and instead abit imperfect. I then mixed red and white to create pink. I pressed a sponge into the acrylic pressing onto fabric using the stencil I made to create a polka dot effect, this turned out much better than I was expecting. This was inspired by Sunny Todd's work i placed the stencil in a repeated pattern like Sunny does in his prints.

Creating garments without a pattern

I took two oblongs and sewed them together with the new seam in the back. i dropped the oblong onto my manaquine and calculated roughly where to cut out my arm holes. i made a template out of cardboard for the armholes and traced and cut the armholes where marked on the oblong. I slipped it onto the mannequin and crossed the two sides at the front and I tied them into a bow at the back. I then pinned on some sequins to see what it would look like if it was embroidered with sequins along the neckline.

Sunny Todd

Royal College of Art graduate Sunny Todd established ‘Sunny Todd Prints’ with his wife Emma in 2013; they work from their studio in Hereford shire to produce patterns. Clean, bold and graphic, designs are confidently and obsessively drawn with pen, scissors and scalpel. Scale is explored, reducing and exaggerating to experiment with composition and the impact of the repeat. Every shape is drawn and cut by hand; computers are not used in the design process.
