Textiles has always been an interest of mine, I express myself through the work I produce and I enjoy the sequence of developing and sampling with a range of processes, techniques and materials, which results in endless combinations and possibilities. When I am not in college I voluntarily assist in making costumes for a local dance school, which I feel immensely improves my making skills. I currently work at a card and gift shop, I enjoy working here as I gain ideas and inspiration from the card designs. This job also enables me to achieve excellent communication and time management skills.
I was first drawn to the “Textiles in Practice” course because it allows me to further develop skills in the areas of Print, Weave, Knit, Embroidery and Fashion and then specialise selected areas in years 2 and 3. I have also been impressed by the quality of work produced by the Textiles students on the degree course when I have attended the yearly Final Degree Shows. The work is impressive not only in its creativity but in its professional presentation and it is also clearly evident through talking to the students and closely observing their work that the teaching is of a very high standard, which I feel is crucial at Higher Education Level.
The work that I am presenting in my Digital Portfolio shows some of the skills, techniques and processes that I have acquired during the 2 years I have studied on the BTEC level 3 course in Art and Design.
Through specialising in Textiles in my 2nd year I have been able to further develop skills in hand and machine Embroidery, Print, Weave and Knit. What I have found throughout this specialist year is how in applying combinations of these techniques, the possibilities are endless and thought provoking, resulting in innovative design ideas.
The images show how I have experimented with techniques and processes to meet project briefs that are both Textiles and Fashion related.
I now look forward to be given the opportunity to discuss this work further at interview.
