The workshops are open to anyone curious about design. In the experimental workshops, students both adults and children are viewed as an extension of Nicole’s creative practice, creating a reciprocal environment built on shared ideas, materials, and collaboration. The focus is on challenging personal creativity, building confidence, and most importantly, having fun. Each participant is supported in developing individual responses, through personal projects or a set brief.
A wide range of textile processes are explored, including screen printing, heat press printing (flock, foil, and sublimation), experimental drawing, dyeing, relief printing, and up-cycling workshops using waste materials. Sessions encourage playful experimentation and thoughtful making across print, textile, and mixed-media techniques.
Collaborative projects have included partnerships with Nike, the Design Museum, Fashion & Textile Museum, Feltham Young Offenders Institution, Watts Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Hawkins\Brown Architects, the Royal School of Needlework, the National Trust, Chelsea Physic Garden, the Garden Museum, Somerset House, the Knit & Stitch Show, Pump House Gallery, Jo Malone, Regent’s University, UKTV, Dulwich College, the University of the Arts London, Surrey Arts, the Lightbox Gallery, Bell House, Barclays, Daylesford Organic, Accumulate, and the School of Fashion & Textiles at the University for the Creative Arts.
