Sustainability meets style 🧵
Our Textile students and staff were thrilled to hear from Patrick Grant - of The Great British Sewing Bee fame - during the Wimborne Green Festival in October.🌿✨
Patrick spoke passionately about our urgent need to consume less and value what we already have - a message that truly resonates with our A Level and GCSE focus on sustainable textile and fashion practices.
His book 'Less' is now featured on university reading lists for degree courses in Luxury Sustainable Textiles at Winchester School of Art and beyond - including the course currently studied by one of our own alumni!
Inspiration in Action! 🎨
Our Foundation Art and A Level Art & Textiles students were treated to an incredible workshop with artist Christine Allison - whose work has featured in national galleries and local press. ✨
Taking inspiration from the Dorset Coast and found 'treasures' in Lyme Regis, Christine shared her creative journey and guided students through an experiential large-scale drawing session in mixed media.
Students loved exploring her sketchbooks and discovering the stories and techniques behind her stunning artwork. 💭
