BA Hons Textile Design for Fashion and Interiors at Bath School of Art and Design: Integrating traditional craft skills into textile design with new materials and techniques.
The first years could spin a yarn but better still they are inventing their own.
Using found materials and spoils from the scrapstore the students are creating fantasy yarns and threads. From this experiment they will construct exciting 3D surfaces and structures
WOW! I still can’t believe this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When it was announced last year that I was shortlisted for Ones to Watch 2020 – Female Business Leader, I thought it was a scam junk email 🙈. I just couldn’t believe it. So to find out it was real and I’d not only been shortlisted but ended up winning my category was a complete shock!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is a huge achievement for me and DND as my first award, I’m so excited to see where this year will take me now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
