I have included a range of work which I have taken from different projects that I have participated in. I have included life drawings to show my drawing ability as well as textiles pieces which I have enjoyed creating. Some images also show my work in progress as I have just specialised in textiles, therefore have just started creating new pieces of work. I enjoy working with different types of materials and experimenting with the ways that fabrics can be manipulated and used for a wide range of things. I am also interested in the surface pattern designs of materials and the colours and tones which work well together. I am currently working in an interior design shop where I have learnt alot about the properties of materials and the ways that materials can be used to look good within the home. I have increased my knowledge and I now serve customers to help them choose fabrics and wallpapers to go with their existing items within their home. I would like to study Textiles in Practice at university so I can learn new ways of working and also develop the skills I already have to create new pieces of work. I want to go to Manchester to do this as I think that it is a great city to live in and to get a place on the course would be a great opportunity to have. I believe if I work hard at the course, I will reach my goal to get a good career at the end of it.
