Cathrin Gressieker_100DaysofDailyMoods1

About three weeks ago a lot of posts started showing up in my Instagram feed with people announcing their coming #the100dayproject, starting the next day on April 19. I had heard about the project before, thinking you can start doing it anytime (which you can do, of course!), but this time it was announced by… Read More

nocturne poetry collection

Even though this month saw the returning of the light and the beginning of spring, my collection of the month focuses on darkness and twilight. It is based on a WGSN trend for Autumn/Winter 2017/18 called “Nocturne” and was the topic of Chelsea’s Challenge of the Textile Design Lab. During the time of the development… Read More

A Year of Co-Labs

Co-Lab 12

On International Women’s Day (unintentionally) last year Doris Reske and started our first Co-Lab experiment and this weekend we painted together for the 12th time. Over the course of the year we have painted in her studio (a lot!), in the sunshine in my garden, together with little painters and just by ourselves. We had… Read More

In the Studio – New Paintings

by cathringressieker, in category art, creativity, e-courses, flowers, inspiration, painting, pink, seasons
my happy jungle 100x100cm

As much as I like working on my computer designing patterns, I very much need the actual process of real painting in real life. Real paint on my real hands and brushes, all the exploration and surprises and all the “mistakes” that can’t be fixed with a go-back keyboard command. Painting always touches me on… Read More

tropical glee collection

February started with an exciting trip to Munich for me – I took a night train down from Northern to Southern Germany to attend the Munich Fabric Start textile trade fair. It was a cold rainy day, but that didn’t matter for a second, as I spent a whole wonderful day at the trade show.… Read More

Cathrin Gressieker_she's a country-k

I love a good collaborative art session and I count myself very lucky that I have my art buddy Doris Reske living and working with me in Oldenburg and that we have our monthly  Co-Lab painting sessions together – like our fun last one, the first one of 2016. Last year I took part in… Read More

Pattern Observer_Cathrin Gressieker_Tropical Glow_lowres

Here comes my first pattern collection of 2016! As I mentioned in my last pattern post at the end of my 52-pattern-in-2015-challenge, this year I will focus on pattern collections and show them on a monthly basis. Thinking and designing collection-wise is a skill I would really like to deepen. One thing that will keep… Read More

Cathrin Gressieker_book

It’s here, at last! My copy of Alena Hennessy’s new book Intuitive Painting Workshop has made its way to Germany into my mailbox. And it is a special book, for sure. This weekend it has been almost exactly two years that “by coincidence” I stumbled upon a video lesson for Alena Hennessy’s painting course A… Read More

Like this year 2015, also my pattern challenge of the year is coming to its end. And my final patterns are a collection I have developed last month, in Chelsea’s Challenge of the Textile Design Lab. The theme was a WGSN trend for spring/summer 2017 called Tidal Beachcomber, with surface patterns that are reminiscent of… Read More

Cathrin Gressieker_december calendar

So we have come to the last page of Claras Calender of 2015 today: And we have already had the first snow of this season on November 22. Only a couple of centimeters and most of it melted on the ground straightaway. But as you might imagine, the girls were very excited on that Sunday… Read More
