Rachel Reynolds
Rachel Reynolds graduated from Loughborough University, with a BA (Hons) in Printed Textiles. After receiving an award from the Southern Arts Board and becoming a Prince's Trust supported business, Rachel was able to develop her work and continues to work as a freelance textile designer / artist and tutor.
In 2012 Rachel completed an MA in textile design (Distinction) at Winchester School of Art. This has broadened and extended her skills, predominantly bringing her hand drawn elements to the forefront of her designs. Rachel continues to implement her knowledge of traditional screen printing with new technology by combining hand drawn and collaged details with digitally printed aspects into her designs. The result is a fresh range of designs for fabrics, wall coverings and Perspex.
Rachel has experience of working to commission and has extended her product line to include; room dividers, upholstered furniture and site-specific Perspex artworks. Previous commissions have included: large scale contemporary backdrops within churches and building atria, alongside smaller wall hangings and textile pieces for the domestic interior.
