Judges
Mrs Rita Walker
Rita taught GCSE technology textiles and A level Art Textiles in a Secondary School in Hungerford.
She collaborated with festival organisers, local charity shops, the WI and a local milliner to run a Sustainable Fashion Show as part of HADCAF (Hungerford and District Arts Festival) for 2 Years (2011/2012)
Students designed and made clothing and hats from pre-used fabrics- the most popular fabric used was denim, as this was easy to come by!
Reduce, re-use and recycling projects in lower school included making novelty fabrics from sweet wrappers that were stitched and laminated then recut to make luggage holders and passport covers.
