Next up in my coverage of New Designers 2015 part one I present more favourite textile and surface design – this time concentrating on florals, narrative designs and a popular jungle theme. Emily Ward at Norwich Uni put together a fabulous display showcasing her designs on lampshades.
Beautiful birds feature on this lovely silk scarf by Zoe Cook.

Fun prints from Alice Greaves have a narrative feel.
Izzy Dryburgh pursues the ever popular butterflies theme.
Juicy florals by Rachel Whichelow at Huddersfield make brilliant use of sunny colours.
Hannah Reuter had fun with this lovely liquorice allsorts textile design.

Sophisticated embroidery created by Jemma Scanlon.
Jessica Boulton was inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream to create this stunning scarf – a firm favourite with my followers when I shared this on my instagram feed.
At University of Dundee award winner Emma McCluskey created this gorgeous leafy print design.
Extravagant painterly florals are by Sophie Rolley at Leeds College of Art.
Suzannah Marakova created these glamourous decorative designs.
