Textiles: Co-hosted by tutors: Gary Mills & Joan Herrington.

Joan Herrington has over twenty-five years’ experience teaching Textiles and Fashion from students on further education courses, higher education level and latterly at adult education in private classes and workshops. Whilst initially she specialised in garment construction and pattern cutting, she found herself more and more drawn to textile and surface pattern design with a keen interest in hand stitching. Her work over the last ten years reflects this interest along with her love of old textiles and those from other cultures.

Christian has worked as a photographer since leaving college at 17. He quickly gained experience at newspapers,  PR Agencies, marketing departments, photography studios and as a freelance with many outlets. Also managing a busy darkroom, studio for many years.

There aren’t many subjects he hasn’t photographed!

Christian has tutored autistic disabilities bringing out the creative talents of young actors.

School and college students with work placement.

Adults that after absence want to get back to work but this time round a creative work environment.

Developing many creative, experimental styles he soon found his niche in the fashion and music industry. Photographing many of the worlds leading designers and the most famous supermodels such as Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. Enjoying enormously the opportunity to photograph the incredible rise of the Manchester music scene. And later the likes of The Prodigy, Jools Holland, Alesha Dixon, Tynchy Stryder, Judge Jules & Jaguar Skills.

Human interest, fashion and lifestyle is my current focus as a working professional. Although many assignments this year seem to have been food and drink related.
