Making Material Knowledge: Process-led Textile Research as an Active Source for Design Innovation

This paper explores the notion of “Textile Thinking” during a cross-disciplinary research case study exploring material boundaries. The Material Boundaries project was designed to consciously experiment beyond the unknown and generate a deeper understanding where ceramic begins and textiles end as well as the transitional space in between them. This led to the development of a collection of new hybrid materials and a series of spatially applied textile design outcomes.
