Johanna Roberts
MA Design and Applied Arts
I create wearable everyday clothing using scrap fabrics and carefully sourced materials to complement existing textiles. I view old pieces of fabric not as waste, but as a starting point for developing designs. The collection I have created is inspired by workwear, aprons, and traditional textile crafts. The use of patchwork features in my clothing to add colour and playfulness to simple utilitarian shapes and functional pieces. My collection and future brand will create timeless, seasonless garments that continue the conversation around valuing the clothes we own and how we wear them. My intention is to not add more clothes to an already overburdened system but to create a unique way of adding elements to what we already wear. Helping people reimagine the clothes they have by creating versatile layering pieces that can be worn as the wearer chooses and encourage a more thoughtful, conscious and circular lifestyle.

Wolverhampton School of Art Graduate Showcase 2021
We are delighted to announce our end of year graduate showcase highlighting the work of our final year students in Art, Design and Screen based subjects.
Over the last few weeks we have had a film crew on site in the School of Art recording student experiences and their work. The last year, has undoubtedly been a huge challenge to students and staff in the School of Art. We have found ourselves working at home in make-shift spaces and often with limited materials and kit. Our staff and students have been hugely inventive in finding opportunities and outlets to keep learning live - and this, in itself, is a testament to our creativity and resilience as a sector.
