Design Brief:

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of botanicals and let your creativity bloom in unique and imaginative ways. Explore the lush diversity of plant life and draw on nature’s artistry to create plant- inspired wool designs. Think of prints, embroidery, and decorative crafts and techniques that reflect the intricate beauty of nature. Use colour palettes from nature’s own paint box to bring your designs to life.

Whether you’re inspired by fashion, accessories, or interior design, your creation should consist of 1 to 4 pieces and must be made up of at least 70% wool. Unleash your creative spark and demonstrate how the unique qualities of wool have been incorporated, while exploring shape, scale, colour, texture and textile techniques for a design that taps into the beauty of nature.

Year 9 and 10 Textiles and Design students spent Semester one learning fashion illustration skills and all created an entry for the  Mid Designer Category for Years 9 & 10, in the wool 4 school competition.

Congratulations to Lillian Bowring of Year 9 who was announced last night as the recipient of 2nd Place in this category. Lillian’s exceptional skills in fashion Illustration have been rewarded and we are very proud of your work.
