ABOUT KIRA
I am currently a final year Textiles in Practice student at Manchester School of Art, specialising in woven textile design. I have a keen interest in texture, colour and adding a three dimensional element to my work. I am inspired by repetitive patterns within architecture in built up city's, such as Manchester. My aim has always been to create fabric for interior furnishings and most recently interior furnishings for a commercial use. I am material led and I pride myself on experimenting with many yarns to find one that is fit for the project at hand. Throughout my university journey, I have gained many skills in CAD, such as Scotweave (Jacquard and Dobby designer) and Adobe Suite. I also have skills in using a TCI Jacquard Loom, Harris table top looms and ARM looms. I am very proud to be a weaver and to bring attention to a beautiful craft. I am looking forward to bring my work into the design world.
