Textile Society 33rd Annual Conference

The theme for this years conference was Textiles and Architecture. The keynote speaker was Professor Alice Kettle. Her talk has made me think more about the place and the environment of where my work belongs.

Collaboration Feedback

Collaboration Feedback from Laban Dancer The unit X project is about collaborating outside of the Art School.

I would like to continue to develop my skills with digital Print and explore the use of illustrator and photo shop to improve the images I create. I also intend to using the laser cutter to produce negative images that can be transferred onto screen prints to produce hand printed designs.
