How about repeat designs done with non-hardening clay? Make a clay ball into a flattened stamp and handle shape. Have the students impress designs into them and then ink them with a stamp pad. It's a good lesson in positive and negative space. Also, with repeated printing, the clay design starts to morph into another related design.

Also, rolling string around a brayer, then inking it with printing inks. Roll it out and it will do a repeating pattern.

Also, techniques that habe been described lately on ArtsEdNet for paste paper would work for textile design concepts.

Can anyone suggest a source or perhaps describe a lesson or introductory
assignment in textile design, particularly an introduction to variations
on repeat patterns in textile design. Thanks. jw
