Textiles on Parade and Year 12 Major Textiles Exhibition
Last Thursday and Friday evening, a presentation by the very talented Textiles students from Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 was on display for all to see.
The parade featured the TAS initiative of War on Waste that was showcased with the creative use of recycled, repurposed items, representing how waste can truly be changed into something wonderful.
Each year the Whitehouse School of Design very kindly donates drawing workshops as a prize, this year providing four online workshops each to the value $50. The deserving recipients this year were:
Bronte Lamb (Year 11): made an inspired piece that was fully reversible shibori, dyed on one side and hand painted onto the other, inspired by an Japanese ceramicist, jacket and skirt.
Ava Thomas (Year 10): Ava used old placemats as decoration. She repurposed an old knitted bag, unravelled the threads and crocheted them into a skirt along with many other details.
Arabella Sherlock (Year 10): a costume inspired by the song “Singing in the Rain”. A contemporary interpretation for a dance sequence.
Emily Kim (Year 9): inspired by the theme, ‘Wish you were here’. A resort-style apparel item full of colour.
Given we had so many wonderful projects presented, there were commendations and certificates for the following students:
Alex McColl (Year 11) – for her outstanding artwork used for all posters and invitations.
Georgia McDonagh (Year 11) – for technical precision.
Samantha Beverley (Year 11) – for Designer of the Future.
Sophie Ma (Year 10) – for creative use of fabric.
Brielle Mann (Year 10) – contemporary use of fabrics.
The People’s Choice Award went to Madeleine Raymond (Year 10), while Textiles TAS Captain Georgia McDonagh (Year 11) was a gracious master of ceremonies for the night.
Jessica Scott (Year 12), last year’s TAS captain, was the master of ceremony for the Year 12 Major Textiles Exhibition. She communicated her fellow textiles students’ journey of working on a Major Project with kindness and candour in relation to the process.
