We are delighted to announce that over the next few months we are running a collective research project incorporating several Slow Textiles Group members dedicated to an exploration of the geometric form in textiles.
All our workshops, including those on May 19th, July 14th and November 3rd 2012 are dedicated to the theme as well as our exciting first group shows. 
Papers, essays and short films are also being produced on the subject, so watch this space or join us to get involved.

What do geometrics mean to you?


Digital Sculpture and Composite Materials Create a New Smart Fabric

We’re really proud of our friends at Random International and fellow Royal College of Art graduates who are pushing the boundaries of smart composite layers with sculpture, textile, architecture and their new place of convergence.
Random International are pioneers in the field. It’s always a design pleasure to be moved to tears.

Sustainable textiles take on an exciting, dynamic new look with the British creative duo that is The People’s Print. Co-directors Melanie Bowles and Emma Neuberg are Professional Members of the Slow Textiles Group. Their pioneering business language and vision has sustainable textiles practice at heart. They are the only big vision company that trains individuals and companies how to apply slow textile methodologies to real life design projects.
Sad you missed the opportunity to work with them on The Great British Floral project as seen here? Then  join other Slow Textiles Group Professional Members on May 19th at 2pm for a similar in-house project  called Fast/Slow Geometrics: Create Stunning Geometric Digital Textile Patterns from Organic Structures and Traditional Techniques. This is open to members and non-members. Details here.
