WESTON DAY

On Friday I met Professor Richard Weston at Liberty, London, where he stocks beautiful collections of digitally printed scarves in their prestigious scarf hall.


We chatted about his work for almost an hour and I was lucky enough to show him my designs and learn a lot about related subjects and talk about future plans! Here are some cheeky snapshots that sum up the morning!

I first came across Richard's work on a television programme looking at british craftsmen stocking new products in Liberty and immediately fell in love with his work and loved his passion and enthusiasm for his subject.


Richard scans natural minerals and the digitally printed results are fascinating.

So I'm a textiles student at Central St. Martins in London, at foundation level, and, to say the least, am obsessed with print.

Recently in spare time I've been teaching myself photoshop and amateur graphic print design, so I've finally finished the first ideas and had them printed onto silk chiffon and hand hemmed.

Each print has a medical connotation; read on to read more.

You may be a little surprised to uncover that the print on this one features my own brain! Yes, that's right, After having an MRI scan, I decided to put the image to good use!

these prints came from an x-ray featuring a leg brace; one of those gadgets to keep you're bones in place using pins, not for the feint hearted!
