And HOW WE MAINTAINED FOCUS.

Yesterday we started our record of how Textile Design for Fashion and Interiors students were coping with the unique situation we find ourselves in.

Now working remotely they have set up studio’s wherever they are situated around the world.

The creative spaces, have put together so quickly, are a testament to their desire to carry on creating.

Tomorrow we have the third collection of student’s images and the 4th post will be guess which staff’s studio this is!

An occasional round up of the fabulous facilities here at the School of Design in Bath UK

First off…

Embroidery and the fabulous ZSK INDUSTRIAL machines

Once hand skills have been mastered and projects discussed, induction into the industrial machines commences.

Louise has set the workshop up to go……

Joy has set up the domestic and specialist machines in the embroidery workshop.Here examples inspire development of techniques and processes

All kinds of projects can be completed on the domestic machines with inspiration,help and guidance
Students settle down to complete their work
and of course they occasionally need running repairs

Other machines include the Irish machine, the Cornelli, the Leather machine and the Tufter; each machine offering a different process to investigate

Come and see what they do and of course what you can do with them….

In:site Festival 2019. September 2019 which took place in Birmingham UK city centre, in the grounds of St Philip’s Cathedral.

The public engaged with a selected group of designer/ makers from across the UK, and beyond, who were showing, demonstrating and sharing their craft skills.


They worked with clay, fabric, yarn and wood/acrylic.
I was thrilled to meet up with this year’s graduate Ryoji Morimoto before he returns to Japan next week. ✈️
He had produced such beautiful, coloured, engaging prints that it drew people in to have a closer 👀 .
They immediately began to stitch their favourite good luck symbol onto a working quilt.
The very best of luck 🍀 Ryoji on your career path as it unfolds in Japan
Thank you for being the most generous, kind, talented and thoughtful person during your three years with us in Bath.
Our loss is 🇯🇵 gain.


This opportunity is brought to the city each year by Craftspace.
