weaving
A career within weaving, textiles and the creative
industries is possible. The creative sector is a significant part of the UK
economy and there are many different jobs available related to the process and
production of textiles and the job of a designer, maker, researcher and
educator, specialising in weave is very varied and therefore no two weeks are
the same.
Sometimes I am planning new designs, creating yarn wraps,
weaving samples, experimenting with colours and textures. Other days I will be
making, either orders or commissions or alongside other people at workshops or
on projects. Research is an important part of my practice from visiting
exhibitions, researching ideas, to learning about new ways to do things within
my teaching or making practice - Agnis Smallwood
