Although initially a knit specialist designer, throughout my work I enjoy exploring all elements of textiles, including printing and embroidery. I thrive on learning new techniques to explore. Within this collection I wanted to explore pockets; creating folds and shapes within fabric. To do this I have had to work through many processes, from mark making; to distorting and editing these drawings on Photoshop to create my prints. Through drawing, I have tried to create a basis for my work; creating patterns and shapes to allow me to explore these further in Photoshop. These have then been developed into sublimation prints, which I have embroidered into, and also used as layers along with my crochet. My influence of pockets also encouraged me to create samples with crochet- building a sculptural
“pocket�
through crochet. The tiny stitches within the sample gave great detail in its own way.
