Neil Bottle: Focus
No full textA new exhibition of printed textiles inspired by the landscapes of the Middle East will be opening at Contemporary Applied Arts, London, in March.
The pieces in the collection, which range from large wall hangings to wearable items such as scarves, were produced by UCA Canterbury Senior Lecturer Neil Bottle who has been a member of the gallery for twenty years.
Much of the inspiration for this latest collection was gained during a secondment at the University of Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates

Kaleidoscope – Printed Textiles by Neil Bottle
No full textOne man show at Rochester Art Gallery.
In the Kaleidoscope series, Neil Bottle explores the relationship between digital textile printing and craft printing techniques and how these seemingly opposing practices can coexist. A combination of the latest cutting-edge digital print techniques such as dye sublimation combined with craft traditions such as screen printing, discharge printing, pleating and shibori have been developed in the work.
The Kaleidoscope series of wallhangings is printed in rich shades of scarlet, flame, teal and gold. These designs are in a sense autobiographical, representing an eclectic mixture of references, journeys and memories. A key focus in the work is to create a sense of depth and space on flat printed cloth, pushing the limitations of digital textile printing
Facing the Future: the Changing Shape of Academic Skills Support at Bournemouth University
No full textThis paper explores the potential impact of changes to higher education in England on student expectations, engagement, lifestyles and diversity, and outlines implications for the development of digital literacy within academic skills support at Bournemouth University (BU). We will investigate how tackling resource constraints with organisational change can also enable efficient, centralised provision of support materials that utilise networks to overcome the risk of fragmented support for digital literacy. We will also look at how changing delivery modes for support can accommodate changing student lifestyles whilst tackling a weakness of centralised support for digital literacy: that it can become detached from the student’s subject-focused academic practice. Finally we will explore how involving students in developing support can help us to face changes to student expectations and engagement whilst ensuring that materials are authentic and speak to learners in their own voice
Lace Effects Coat and Wallhanging Installation
No full textThe Lace Effects exhibition at the Cite International de la Dentelle et del la Mode de Calais (International Centre for Lace and Fashion), showcased textile, fashion and design creations inspired by the theme of lace.
"I have interpreted the 'Lace Effect' as an extension of the layering process, hiding and revealing layers or fragments of images, drawings and shapes. The relationships between the past and present, one-off and mass production are also explored in the work. I found the archive at Cite International de la Dentelle et del la Mode de Calais very inspiring, providing a rich source of imagery. The traditions of quality and the historical value of lace are a timely reminder of the current revolution in textiles production and how we encompass contemporary and future design and production methods".
"In the 'Kaleidoscope coat' I have explored the relationship between the three-dimensional garment form, pattern cutting and the two dimensional digital printed images. The 'Kaleidoscope coat' is designed as a digital one-off, a carefully crafted balance of the hand and the digital. The coat is presented as an exhibit, artefact or sample rather than a wearable piece. The piece is inspired by the graphite blackened hands of the lever lace operators and the technical expertise developed over many generations. By contrast it is produced with cutting edge digital technology and created by a maker who is part of the digital revolution, a revolution that presents such unprecedented creative possibilities." - Neil Bottle

Optical series
No full textThe new work, entitled "Optical Series," demonstrated a departure in content and technique from the earlier figurative designs. Neil developed a method of mark making and printing to convey an uncontrollable or serendipitous quality of line drawing. He experimented with ways of making spontaneous marks in various paints, resin, varnish, dyes and bleach which were then translated onto silk screen. The finished piece evokes a sense of the technological landscape; ironically it has an architectural quality yet is devoid of literal reference
Turner Contemporary collection of fashion accessories
No full textA collection of fashion accessories designed and produced for Turner Contemporary in Margate.
Designs were commissioned to evoke the history, location and ethos of the Turner Contemporary organisation.
Scarves were designed using hand and digital design technology and then digitally printed in England.
Neil's research draws on 20 years experimentation in textile design, dye chemistry and screen-printing, combined with digital design. His new collection, designed exclusively for Turner Contemporary, combines these diverse working methods and is inspired by the architecture of Turner Contemporary as well as the location and history of Margate. Neil has combined drawing and hand generated methods with computer-manipulated images, which are then printed, and hand finished
