Laura went onto win the heat, progressing onto the UK Final, where she was awarded Runner Up. The theme for the competition was entitled ‘Colour Communication’ and her project ‘Ombré Fascination’ was praised by the judges for its “exciting colour palette and huge potential”, which combined leno weaving and digital sublimation print.
