Thornton's Textiles trip

Last week Thornton textiles group visited the Knitting and Stitching Fair in Harrogate. It is a show that never seems to disappoint those excited by the latest innovations and possibilities within the world of textiles and craft.
The fair afforded our Textiles students a brilliant opportunity to check out the work of textile artists, view workshops and see the work of new university graduates, not to mention the possibility of sourcing materials and trims. The stand-out work for many was that of Renate Keeping whose textile apples were amazing. All in all, a very worthwhile trip.
