Bradford Textile Society Awards 2013/14




I'm very proud to announce that I've been commended for my entry in the annual Bradford Textile Society Awards.



Established in 1893, the Bradford Textile Society is the oldest textile society in Britain, if not in the world. Despite all the changes which have taken place in the textile industry since its formation, the Society continues to thrive. 

I've entered three years running and am so delighted to have a commendation from such a prestigious organisation - can't wait for the awards night on the 13th of May! I'll post pics then.

Introduction

Welcome to my mini-website - showcasing the best of my work from my Degree Show.

About me

Born and bred in Ireland, I've lived in the East Midlands for over 20 years. My studio is based in the creative hub of Banks Mill Studios, a converted Victorian Mill in the centre of Derby.

My specialisms are knit and print and I combine both to create functional, aesthetically pleasing and tactile products for interiors. Fifteen years experience working with wide format digital printer manufacturers has allowed me to understand that with today's technology, there really are no restrictions on what can be printed.

This website sets out to run along side my final degree show and will explain the inspiration, techniques and processes that underpin my work.
