We are delighted to share that RSN Hand Embroidery Degree first year student Amelia Legg has won The Worshipful Company of Glovers annual student design glove competition, in the ‘Glasto Glove’ Category, with the brief to design a Glastonbury themed Glove for any music artist of their choice who has ever played at Glastonbury.
We would also like to congratulate the RSN Degree team, for winning the highest accolade, ‘The Silver Salver for the college making the greatest contribution to the competition’.
Amelia explains her work:
“My design is made of metallic leather, hand embroidery and beading; inspired by Lady Gaga’s performance of ‘Paparazzi’ at the Glastonbury Festival in 2009.
The sample consists of hand embroidery techniques, such as French knots, satin stitch, couching and turkey rug stitch.
The thinking behind beading was to create volume, composition and texture to uplift the sample and create a design which would initially indicate shards of mirror and glass.
I have upcycled a range of beads, which are divergent in size. I believe this sample represents Gaga’s personality.”
