How to get the colour you want (and love!) into fabric
The first years are having a fine old time learning how to dye yarn and fabric the exact colour they need.
Running alongside their colour mixing for print and design the students are getting a thorough grounding in the art,application and appreciation of colour.
Down to business
The second years are heads down learning the craft and skill of the Dubied’s
(knitting machines to the lay person!)
There’s a lot to get the hang of but they are getting the best possible tuition from Gaby

How lucky we have been to welcome Carol James from the U.S.A
With her boundless enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge Carol introduced the 1st year students to ancient textile techniques.
Using available and found materials the students adapted what they had to construct replicas and developments of these wonderful skills.
