Amy's work is based on the premise that fashion
should be sustainable and made to last rather than have the built-in
obsolescence of much of today's high street fashion. She graduated from a BA in
Embroidery at Manchester School of Art in 2008. She has used recycled textiles
and embroidery to create a series of pattern shaped panels which show how they
could be used in garment design.
Amy also talked about her work with the Salford Museum Service and some of the exhibitions she has been involved with.
There was much food for thought following her talk and the display of work she brought for us to see. Many of us I am sure will now be thinking of trying to combine previously untried combinations of fabrics and to re-use some of our clothing in different ways when it is no longer required!
