TexStyle: practical skills for students

Year 10 and Year 11 Textiles students had the opportunity to view the ‘TexStyle Exhibition” which showcased the outstanding 2025 HSC Textile Designs, at the Embroiderers Guild located in Concord West.
The students were very impressed with the techniques and skills shown in the 40 or so items on display. Year 11 were able to spend the day viewing the samples, attending a seminar on how to complete their HSC portfolio and participating in very enjoyable break in between where we practiced creative embroidery stitches on felt designs.

It was a very enjoyable excursion to go on. Some of us went to the TexStyle Exhibition last year, only for the exhibition, and it was fun to revisit. This time at TexStyle, we learnt about what is included in our final projects and what is expected of us. We learnt about how to construct our portfolios, how to embroider and spoke to some employees about what major work would suit us best. Overall, such an amazing excursion and experience.
