New Designers 2009!

An amazing week! Congratulations to all the lovely LCAD exhibitors - an exciting stand full of gorgeous, individual work that recieved so much interest!












It was really exciting to be able to exhibit at such a high profile event, a great opportunity to showcase my collection to the design world! I recieved alot of interest, several offers of placement, freelance work and commission and i was genuinely taken by surprise, extremely flattered and very happy!
My ABSOLUTE highlight of the week was becoming the winner of the Selvedge Prize for Excellence in Textiles!


















































































































The End of the Beginning, 19th - 23rd June 2009!

A wonderful and memorable showcase of exciting, inspiring and diverse graduate collections!
Fantastic to see everyone's hard work pay off and enjoy the fruits of our labour!


The point of departure for my graduate collection was British birdlife, yet this soon evolved to include salvaged un-wanted treasures, illuminating their whimsical beauty in delicate collages.
