My display consisted of two wallpaper drops and a shelf in a cabinet with my surface pattern work in. I was also over the moon to receive the Digetex award for Interior Design from the degree show.
Whilst looking around the degree show, two printers work stood out to me in particular for their great use of colour and texture. Krista Murtagh (Left) used different painting techniques to create her work, and I love the final outcomes with a bright pastel colour scheme. Ellis Witherspoon (right) used digital drawing and manipulation techniques to create her fantastically bright, textured fashion prints.
The work of Annie Richardson (below) also really caught my eye because of the variety of textures and bright colours. Annie is inspired by surface manipulation which has resulted in a fantastic collection of samples that are tactile and very interesting.
The work of the weavers was so good that it made me want to get on a loom and give it a go myself! The work of Camilla Thomas (below) is gorgeous, with fantastic textured yarns, and a sensitive use of natural colours with flashes of reds and oranges.
Eden Blaber's weaves were very intricate, with a great use of colour. She also used metallic threads and beading to add an additional element.
As I am always drawn to natural things, it's no surprise that the work of the two students below inspired me. Chelsey Linley-Bradford uses hand drawn mark making as well as digital illustration to create gorgeous patterns on a variety of surfaces including wooden flooring.
Kimberley Jones uses naturally dyed yarns and weaving techniques to create gorgeous jewellery pieces. I love her natural drawing style, as well as her use of colour.
The degree show made me very proud of everyone who is graduating from the Textiles in Practice course this year, and I am already looking forward to seeing the degree show next year.
