WEEK 32 | 15th September MA Show 2014
This collection started with my research into the Welsh Woollen industry, which inspired me to collaborate with an existing mill in Wales.
The inspiration for this body of work draws from the seascapes near my home in west Wales; studying maritime signalling flags together with traditional designs embedded in Welsh textiles.
I hand weave my design samples in lambswool, and following discussion with the mill the design is developed to be taken forward into production.
My intention is for these fabrics to be used mainly for interiors, furnishing and decorative purposes.
I have secured employment as an Assistant Designer at a Scottish Mill. From this experience I hope to create contemporary designs within a commercial environment. My long-term ambition is to apply this experience in Wales.
