Today we were informed on the importance of research which made me think I must do this more to help me with Project 2. Visits to archives, museums and exhibitions are so important as we learnt in first year so I am planning a visit to London in the next 2 weeks to visit the V&A Fabric of India Exhibition.

We were also informed about the resources online so I have spent some time exploring WGSN, Athens and the NUA library, searching through trend reports, ebooks and e-journals.

I found a very suited e-resource by Rosalyn Crosthwaite (below) which I have found incredibly useful towards my work linked with SADACC and indian textiles. She explores the use of traditional indian textile techniques as well as the changes made and influences from digital processes.
