Course and Project Leader of Fashion Textile Design.
Angharad is a technical textile historian specialising in the study of the production and commerce of textile fibres and decorative textile techniques.
She is a weaver, lace maker, dyer, spinner, printer and embroiderer.
She is particularly interested in the reinvention of traditional techniques (such as lace making) and in combining them with new materials and technologies.
She has worked with various public and private collections in Europe, Australia and the US and is currently working on various research projects including one on 16th and 17th century metal textile from Lombardy (Northern Italy) and another on using fibre analysis as a way of tracing the provenance of 17th century Venetian-type laces.
Angharad teaches textile and costume history for various academic institutions including Marist College (New York) and the University of Florence and teaches in the two-year MA Program in Textile and New Materials Design at NABA
