Final reflections

Final textiles reflections:

I think that my research on people like Sheila Hicks and Anne Sutton helped to get me into the right frame of mind for the second day of textiles. Because of my research I tried to focus more on structure and shape which helped for imagining different textile garments: it was really interesting to see how even the most basic material (a piece of paper) could be manipulated into something really sculptural and textured.
I definitely think the textiles portion of the design project has piqued my interest - I did not think I would enjoy this section of the design pathway as I have no skill in any of the textile processes (e.g: sewing, knitting, crochet etc) - however I found that the activities we did were really easy to pick up on and I really enjoyed working in 3D
In addition I’ve found that the processes within textiles can be easily applied to lots of different degrees / careers which is always useful
In addition I found that textiles is something that really benefited from group discussion. Having talks with my partner really helped us both progress our ideas
