About me
Lucia specialises in digital and hand silk-screen printed textiles for fashion. She enjoys experimenting and combining hand print processes, which include devoré, procion and discharge. This has allowed Lucia to develop a keen eye for colour and detail, which helps when dyeing up fabrics, and experimenting with colour separating dye techniques onto devoré fabrics. Lucia also enjoys creating fluidity within her digital designs by incorporating hand drawn and painted elements to provide more depth and interest. This provides a contrast to her hand printed outcomes, which usually combine block shapes and line details. Lucia also experiments with laser cutting techniques, exploring various leatherettes and other fabric types to create different weights of etched and cut elements, which provides a contrast against her printed outcomes. Lucia is an enthusiastic and confident individual, who has the ability to work independently and in a team, and thrives in any creative environment. She aims to constantly push her abilities to produce high quality outcomes, with the overall ambition to work as a successful textile designer within the UK or abroad.
