About me

Currently a third year textile design student at the Arts University Bournemouth. I specialise in digital design, Irish machine embroidery, hand embroidery and embellishments for Women's fashion accessories. My passion and skill for drawing is influenced from my extensive travels abroad, thus encompassing ethnic inspiration into my digital prints. I use Mimaki printing to translate my final designs and various handcrafted techniques to accomplish bespoke delicate textures. My style of embellishment and embroidery is versatile for each project and demonstrates my perspective as the designer. I aim to provide audiences with a distinctive visual aesthetic within my samples and final designs. Instagram @ayslinsherrytextiles Email ayslin@ashton-grange.com
