"I am a second year Textile Design degree student at Hereford College of Arts, and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Symposium at Gloucester Cathedral on Saturday. All of the speakers were really inspiring and it was so interesting to hear how each individual practises and approaches colour and form in a different way. The exhibition at the Cathedral is also beautifully curated, I particularly love how the pieces interact with the shapes and architecture of the Cathedral itself. I hope SIT will run more events like this soon, it was a fantastic day! "
