Kayleigh Jones About… I am a student at Birmingham City Design University studying Textile Design, specializing in weave. Inspiration for my designs is vast; however, my own photography, textures and microscopic detailing have strong influences for my designs. Furthermore, I am enthusiastic about using mix media for my drawings, which I then scan into Scotweave to create my weave designs. I have a passion of sensitively combing colour and use a variety of yarns to create sophisticated and innovative weaves.
