Jane Scott
Research Title: Transformable Knitted Textiles
Jane Scott is a PhD (part time) research student at Central St Martins School of Art and Design. She is a textile designer focusing on the design and development of transformable knitted textiles for architecture and spatial interventions.
Jane works as a teaching fellow at The University of Leeds specialising in knitted fabric design for textiles and fashion.
Research Area
Jane Scott's research investigates transformable knitted textiles engineered to change from flat surfaces into three dimensional forms. Inspired by paper folding techniques, the research applies smart materials including shape memory yarns to weft knit structures, developing fabrics which have the potential to transform in response to external stimuli. The research combines material innovation with weft knit technology developing textiles capable of providing flexible architectures and spatial interventions.
