Eco Scot fabrics...

Here are a few of the fabrics I developed for the Eco Scot project.

Fabrics for Fashion...

The next second year project was to produce a set of fabrics for fashion inspired by a given theme, in my case 'Shaker Style'.  These are a few of the fabrics I produced for this project, they have been woven on a power assisted Texel loom using Shetland wools, finished with a gentle handwash and press.

How it all began...

The first year of Textile Design at Derby Uni is a combination of the three offered specialisms - print, knit and weave.  At the end of the first year you chose which one of those three areas you want to work within for the next two years.  Straight away I found I had an affinity for weave, so for me as a budding designer it was the obvious choice.
