Lecture One: 21st Jan - Textiles Timeline

This first lecture was based on looking at how each of us has come into contact with textiles throughout our lives. We were put into groups of five and all had to create a timeline, starting from newborn right up until adult.

We recorded the types of materials such as flannelette, wool, cotton, which we had come into contact with right from the moment we were born. The types of clothes we had once worn were also recorded as well as the different phases through the years.

I really enjoyed looking back and remembering the types of fashions and textiles around during my life so far. The group activity was a great way to get us all involved. It's also amazing to see how many different types of textiles you do actually come into contact with without realising.

I believe one of the other group members has the timeline, so I sadly can't show you our attempt at this.
