Nieve Merchant
BA (Hons) Textile Design
Nieve is a textile designer exploring different mediums including print and embroidery.
Her graduate project, Exploring Collections Around Norwich involves looking into Norwich-based collections, from artefacts found in local museums, to postcards found in charity shops, creating textiles suitable for interiors. Nieve is interested in creating meaningful marks and layered textures from her drawings to inform her designs.
Nieve is influenced by mid-century designers who did not always get credit for their work but innovate the way we design today.
Nieve plans to start working freelance continuing to be influenced by history, stories and the world around her.
