Hi, I’m Mary, a final year student who has found a love for fun colourful patterns combing hand and digital woven textiles for my final year project. My passion for beach holidays stemmed from my childhood travels around Europe, experiencing beach life and the importance of protecting our Sealife. My graduate collection ‘Ocean Escape’ aims to weave a fun childrenswear spring/summer collection that aims to promote sustainability to our future generations. Drawing inspirations from my own travels to the beautiful island of Kefalonia, my collection portrays the story of our sea life and how important the need is for a sustainable change. I am passionate to tell my story on and off the loom through the illustration of a children's book. I’m excited to embark on the first step of my career ladder as a buyer for childrenswear and very much looking forward to beginning my journey.
