BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Surface Textiles
Often lead by ideas of our relationships with objects and containers, I have most recently developed ways of embellishment through knit by using knitted pockets filled with beads as a way of bringing colour to textiles and garments, other than yarn colour choices. This has also changed the weight of the knitted fabric. The manipulation of colour in textiles has also been a focus in my most recent work, playing with the idea of dip dyeing, but creating the gradation in colour by using plies of differing colour yarns when producing the textile. Simple garment structures have been used so as not to detract from the detailed and time consuming textiles, and allowing for the knitted textile to form the shape of garments.
