Selected for her versatile collection of fabrics for fashion and furnishings using printed relief and pleated techniques in glorious colours, Lucy was also awarded the Textprint Interior Fashion Award.  Inspired by origami, paper sculpture and the irridescent colours of peacock feathers, her reversible and sculptural screen printed textiles are achieved by concentrating on both sides of the cloth. Equal importance is given to surface pattern and relief effects embossed surfaces in printed textiles.

Rose Garland and Carousel Horse

Brian's designs are a modern take on floral patterns with unexpected additions - all beautifully drawn and incorporating hand and digital printing techniques. Repeat patterns for furnishing fabrics contain old chairs, china figurines and moths as well as overblown roses. His new approach is very much in the manner of Lucienne Day who revisted florals in the 1950's.

Seeing but not feeling and feeling but not seeing

Ros wanted to create a textile that reflected the blind as well as the sighted. "Because the ground we walk on, can only be felt by the blind and seen by the sighted , something many of us take for granted failing to see or feel things at all". Crackly textures, multiple creases and ripped edges were produced by mono printing, reminding me of cracks in pavements and textures I would see on eroded concrete and bricks.
