Amanda is doing a six-month placement to develop a creative textile project inspired by the museum’s collections.
With a background in fashion, costume, and textile design, Amanda works with textiles related to the body and spatially. Her project focuses on sustainable textile practices, using recycled materials and leftover (deadstock) fabrics found locally.
Throughout her time here, she’ll be creating a library of experimental techniques—like sewing, quilting, felting, weaving, and more. Each week she’ll explore a new method and is interested in how people respond to her work in a tactile way.
If you're into textiles, design, or sustainability, come say hi and check out what she’s working on!
