The TEXStyle HSC Exhibition is an annual event which has been held for over 15 years, designed to showcase excellence and promote Textiles and Design in both the education and wider communities. It provides opportunities for students and teachers to engage with exemplary work samples and deepen teaching practice to drive improved student outcomes.

The Major Textiles Projects on display ranged from apparel garments, homewares to costume design where the methods used to apply design to textiles combined the traditional such as embroidery, needle work, and fabric manipulation with the new modern technologies and techniques such as dye sublimation and laser cut motifs.

The Gallery76 is run by the NSW Embroiderers Guild who volunteer their time, expertise and wisdom. Our students were gifted with new knowledge in how to achieve a high level of finish quality in their projects and what the markers are looking for in the supporting documentation.

The girls completed a detailed analysis of a range of Major Textile Projects and gained inspiration for their own major work. Students were given the opportunity to network with the NSW Embroiderers Guild as they offer mentorship programs that opens them to contact experts for specific advice and guidance for their major projects.
