Creative Stitch Graduate Show 2023 digital printing



One of the teaching sessions on the Advanced Stitched Textiles looks at using IT for design and the possibilities of having your own fabric printed.

Several students have taken up this idea and run with it in various ways.

Anne Shaw has used this technique to great effect for her final assessment showing the development of a design inspired by her grandson in lots of different ways.



Helen Ross has used digital printing in a very different way taking an image of a previousy stitched garment and added further stitch. This is a small detail from a 3D installation















Jess Kanssen has first used another application to produce a repeated design and had this digitally printed.

This technique is a way to design and made completely origianl fabric

Come along to the Graduate Show at Needham Market Community Centre, School Street, Needham Market, IP6 8BB on Sat 22nd and Sun 23rd July 2023 to see the final results
