Amelie Tilley

Loughborough University

I am a final year Textile Design student at Loughborough University, specialising in woven textiles. With hands-on experience as a handweaver in Edinburgh and a highly commended award from the British Textile Society, I bring both practical skill and recognised creative excellence to my work. My practice is deeply informed by my volunteer work with the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), where I’ve developed a strong sense of environmental responsibility that feeds into a passion for sustainable design. Conscientious and hardworking, I’m continually inspired by the changing landscape of textiles, the possibilities of new materials, and the opportunity to blend tradition with innovation in meaningful ways.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
