This month I have began working with the NC State College of Textiles again, continuing my work with EAT DesignScope and helping Nancy Powell with automotive research (including my own). I really enjoy working with EAT and our jacquard equipment. Its certainly a privilege to have access to this equipment and every time I work with it, my technical knowledge continues to grow. I am currently working with our ElTex JC4, which has not run successfully in almost 10 years. I created a weave blanket in December and the technicians got the loom running after working with it and ordering parts for a full semester. Now that I've returned, our goal is to connect all 8 fillings and to create 3- and 8-filling weave blankets. I will then create the instructions, complete with step-by-step screen shots, for future students. I also hope to weave my ATS/Kolon Competition designs.
Beyond this, I have updated my resume and created a pdf portfolio. I am currently reaching out to all the contacts who were so helpful during my thesis process to thank them and connect them to my research. Still in progress is my physical portfolio and job search.
On that note, I am available and ready to interview if any of my readers know of available positions :)
