My future job as textile designer

Years ago I studied industrial design, but I don’t like it  and I never work on design area. Now I study Art -my speciality is textile art- and I have reconciled with my facet as designer. In the near future I will work as freelance textile designer, for some time I work freelance from home. I will design a textile product line, like a scarves, bags, notebooks, pencil case, meditation cushion.

My work will be as green as possible, so these accessories will made with natural fabrics and coloured with natural dyes. In the coming months I will learn how to use natural dyes, for example onion skin, walnut shell, iron oxide or tea, this will be outdoor work.

After that, I will do some material testing and several prototypes, to decide what kind of fabric and size will be the best for every design. And the final colour that will be applied. The issue of color is essential and challenging to me, because to obtain the wished colour is difficult, in particular with natural dyes. I will enjoy of colour nuances and the possibilities that offers to dye.
















I will show my products in Etsy, it’s a web platform where craftsmen from around the world offer theirs creations. I already have an account in Etsy.

I will love this job!
