About the work

With a particular interest for combining science and design, Laura loves to explore and push boundaries. Her latest explorations into structural knitted and woven designs have used crystal structures embedded onto fibres.
 
Laura has just completed a 2 week industrial knitting course at Shima Seiki Europe, HQ, sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Framework Knitters.
