Machine Knitting - Accessories
Alice Wellbeloved
This course, which can be taken independently of Part 1, is a fashion knit accessories course which is aimed at anyone with a basic knowledge of machine knitting. You will learn how to make socks, gloves and hats and also more unusual fashion accessories such as brooches, adornments and other body pieces. Emphasis is placed upon being creative with the idea of 'the accessory', and being experimental and exploring your ideas and materials. Technical studies in machine knitting will be coupled with creativity and having fun.
Alice Wellbeloved gained a BA in Textile Design and an MA in Fashion Knitwear from Central Saint Martins. After graduating she worked in Paris as head knitwear designer for Martine Sitbon, Christian Lacroix and Sonia Rykiel. She is currently head of knitwear at Aquascutum in London.
