Textile Exhibition


Yesterday I went to Loughborough University School of Art and Design to see the final year textile students' exhibition. WOW! What a wonderful array of woven, printed and mixed media textiles (actually they called it 'multi-media', but to me that means video, sound and printed word in a kind of hi-tech presentation, so I am sticking with 'mixed media').


Anyway, back to it - such talent! So many beautiful textiles displayed as swatches or sometimes used as clothing, upholstery, wall art, or even translated into wallpapers.


The students displayed their textiles, and also their research and technique portfolios - these were fascinating, and it was so good to see where they had drawn their individual inspirations from, and how they had examined the elements of these and interpreted them into their own work.


Each student had these lovely photographic cards to advertise themselves and their work. I have many more to show you, so watch this space for more to feast the eyes upon.
