Studio Work

Along with our fundraising events and photo shoots, we have all been busy working away on our final projects. The countdown to the degree show is well under way and our studio spaces are quickly filling up with ideas, inspiration and sampling work from embroidery, print, weave and knit workshops!

 Take a look at some of the exciting samples below from Textile Design, Surface Design and Textile Crafts.

Janine Singleton, Katie Soponski, Deborah Scott & Laura Dobson developing designs in the print workshop.

Inspiring mood boards, laser cutting and mixed media knitting techniques.

Sample development and inspiration boards from Jessy Flounds, & Cecilia Erlandsson.

Keep checking back for more studio updates! Plenty of developments and new designers will be showcased in the coming weeks!

Kerri Shimell // Textile Design

Woven textile designer with a passion for technical textiles.

Weaving has taught me to love the details. My final project is based on simplicity and minimalism.

Pleats, folds, & waves combined with experiments using both Z and S-twist yarns make for an exciting collection for high end interiors. 

I'm mostly using ecru wool and elastic to create bunching and form semi 3-dimensional fabric whilst maintaining transparency, as the curtain fabric controversially isn't designed to block out light but rather use it as an accessory to a room.

I am currently influenced by origami, Issy Miyake and the textures inside vegetables.

Bake Sale Fundraiser

Today’s bake sale was a big success!  350-400 home baked cakes and biscuits were shifted which raised £180 towards the degree show catalog. 

 

   Many students got involved and baked a scrumptious selection of cakes and biscuits to sell on campus. People were finding it difficult to choose what to have because everything looked so tempting! Big golden biscuits were offered in  organza drawstring bags and little plates and napkins for the cakes which were beautifully presented.

 

 Well done to everyone who took part today and a big Thank you to Beth Clarke, Kerry Cantwell and Claire Conway for devoting their day to manage the cake stall.
