Amy Oldfield
Amy is a textile designer focusing on woven techniques accompanied by a range of multi-media pieces. Her graduate collection is inspired by the Swedish mentality 'Lagom' meaning 'just the right amount'.
Amy's skills within colour and design allow her to explore a range of mediums, to create a number of diverse fabrics for the luxury interior sector. Exploring block colours and minimalistic style when approaching the woven designs, with elements of embroidery and multi-media to support the collection, Amy's work aims for sophisticated simplicity much like the idea of 'Lagom'. Upon graduation, Amy hopes to pursue a career in the creative industries.
