Hi I’m Holly, I am currently studying Textile Design with Business Studies, specialising in print, at the University of Brighton. I’m interested in manipulating fabric & textiles, physically and digitally. Fabric manipulation using dye techniques, such as devore – screen printing, is what I like to focus on within my projects as well as designing digital prints to a brief. In my spare time, I enjoy upcycling my own clothes using different fabric techniques such as bleach & tie dyes. Within this module I would like to experiment using the various machines available to create different surface textures e.g. using the laser cutter to produce geometric patterns by cutting out shapes therefore making the fabric 3d, giving it depth. I’m also interested in creating materials and fabric in labs using food or chemical processes to produce sustainable and ethical materials that can be used within fashion or everyday products.
