Kathryn’s weaving practice is research based and looks to push the limits of dimensionality and shape. Working primarily with industrial jacquard looms, Kathryn has worked on projects producing zero-waste garments and textiles that can transform between 2 and 3 dimensions.
Bio: Kathryn Walters is a PhD researcher in Textile Design at the Swedish School of Textiles. Her research investigates transformative textiles developing three-dimensional form. She explores emergent behaviour arising from the combination of material properties and textile structures, where textiles are seen as systems with responsive properties. Her process embraces the use of industrial jacquard looms as an extension of weaving as craft.
