Students from BA (Hons) Textile Design have won prizes and commendations at the Bradford Textile Society Awards 2023, including first prize in two categories.
Established in 1893, the Bradford Textile Society is the oldest textile society in Britain, and despite all the changes which have taken place in the textile industry since its formation, the Society continues to thrive. The annual design competition, with total prize money of over £14,000, is unique in its breadth of coverage and attracts around 1,000 entries from students throughout the UK.
