Project description
My project focuses on the importance and quality of craftsmanship, cherishing both timeless techniques and cherished memories.
Currently, within textiles and fashion the speed of making and consumption is fast whilst
I am drawn to the appreciation of the slow making of textiles and the value of technique, design, and craft. My project is driven by treasuring our possessions by creating bespoke pieces which use slow textile processes. Techniques such as beading and painting showcase craftsmanship, with a focus on the time and care invested into these techniques, ultimately enriching the value of the textiles.
This collection utilises often overlooked materials, such as tickets, seaweed, and other materials, showcasing their significance which hold personal importance as they represent valuable memories. While using textiles techniques which are made to last and be treasured, I am also treasuring and holding onto my own memories and making these last. Outcomes include beaded and treasured objects, as well as scarves featuring a bespoke hand-beaded tag, for a luxury market.

Displaying the craftsmanship devoted to the beading technique by exposing the back stitch on the tickets is important to this project. This aspect is just as significant as the adorned beading on the front of the tickets.
