DAY 4 (4th August)

Posted by Zoe Fletcher on Friday, August 13, 2010






*First factory day – we had so many nice welcomes off every company we visited – and a selection of snacks and drinks at each stop  - which was amazing!

*The day ended with a trip to a button manufacturers where we got to see just how lots o lovely little buttons are made (and we got toffee cake!)

*We arrived at MIST fabric park which MAS Holdings own – its like a big factory park set in the countryside with tropical forests all around – we were staying in a beautiful chalet with huge rooms and massive bathrooms which had open top showers so you could look at the stars whilst you washed your hair!



ABOUT ME


Zoe Grace Fletcher Currently undertaking a PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University within the MIRIAD post-graduate department, I am beginning a practice based academic journey into British wool fibres and new technologies within knitwear design. Graduating with Distinction from a Masters in Fashion and the Environment at London College of Fashion, specialising in hand-knitting and the British Wool Industry, I have worked on a number of knitwear collections (personal and external companies), whilst freelancing and researching for a number of exciting projects. My work revolves around the idea of sustainable fashion from a knitted perspective and the different ways to achieve this incorporating the ideas of slow fashion into mainstream society. I love knitting. And wool. And double sided sticky tape.
