Primary 567 are working on a textile challenge for the end of term assembly. To introduce the challenge, Mrs Hall talked to the class about life as a textiles student at Glasgow School of Art in the 1980s and what she did after she graduated. She explained the textile design process, from finding inspiration to making the finished product, and illustrated her talk with her drawings, sketches, textile swatches and finished pieces. She also showed us textile work her daughter is doing at university. It was an inspirational afternoon and the perfect start to the pupils’ textile challenge. Thank you Mrs Hall.
