Material Innovation Textile Students in the U.K.


Scotland/England 2013
A group of textile design students from Philadelphia University involved in a Material Innovations Short Course journeyed across the pond to visit Heriot Watt University in Galashiels, Scotland for a collaboration of epic proportion (including upcycling and smart textiles).   Some images and quotes follow:
“We experienced textile envy at the sight of their epic weave shed!”
“It was really helpful to meet working designers and see how they compete in the market.”
“The tour of Heriot Watt University was amazing, inspirational, and educational.”
“The countryside was filled with sheep and quaint cottages that spoke of tradition.”
“The sheep were incredible and the cashmere was like butter”
“The tube gets you everywhere in London!!”
“I switched from coffee to tea forever!”
“Haggis is actually quite tasty”
