textile design

It is this time of year again – the design summer school with Make it in Design. Shortly before this year’s briefs were sent out, they published their Surface Pattern Design Lookbook Volume 2 and I was delighted that two of my patterns from last summer’s school were published in it. You can find my… Read More

Cathrin Gressieker_Daily Mood 100

Last Sunday was the last day of my summer vacation and totally incidentally also the last day of my 100-day-project. Some say it takes 21 days to form a new habit, others say 28 or 66 days. So 100 days are plenty! I started on April 27 2016 and painted my 100 days all through… Read More

As my summer sabbatical is slowly but definitely coming to its end, it is time for me to catch up on some of my developments in pattern design on my blog.

While we had a stretch of warm summerlike days in early May, I designed a couple of wintry patterns to a trend called Ice Princess – the monthly theme in the Textile Design Lab by Pattern Observer.

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

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

january heart 100x100cm

Fresh beginnings in 2016 – I have rearranged my studio space lately, with my design work in one room and my messy painting space in the adjacent room. I started working on my canvas in a great mood with lots of colourful mark making and listening to music. There were already so many layers on… 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.

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
