The show must go on...

Finally at the end of it all the show goes up.

Going digital - Mimaki prints...

In a bid to further extend my collection I produced a set of Mimaki prints.  For some of these prints I manipulated photographs of my work in Photoshop, for others however I used the Dobby Designer software to create a print with an optical illusion, a printed fabric that looks like its woven.

Jacquard designs...

In this project I took the technical apect of my Jacquard designs a little further by programming all my own weaves into the software so that I could create a sense of continuity between my Texel and Jacquard work.

My developing fabrics...

My Texel designs in this project went from strength to strength, helped by my introduction of new colours to the palette.

A project extended...

I really enjoyed working on my Fabrics for Outdoors project in the Autumn Term of the final year, so decided to extend it to become my degree show project as well.  New developments were required, so straight away in the Christmas break I began to gather new research, as part of this a photo archive was born.

Paris...

In the Spring term of the third year we went to Paris to see the Premier Vision trade fair, the biggest textiles and fashion dedicated show of its kind in the world.  In Paris for three days we saw many sights and many interesting hidden secrets.  The Eiffel tower at night is a sight to behold, but it was easily shadowed by the charm of the hidden away stores we were guided to.
