Degree Show branding

Tegan Emily Haggerty is an artist studying on the BA(Hons) Textile Design degree.

About my work:


As a weaver, I explore natural dye, colour theory and sustainable methods through a design-led practice. Threads of Resilience is an interactive textile that reflects the strength of women under societal pressures. Inspired by my mother’s values and her connection to nature, the piece uses naturally dyed yarn and incorporates audio and handwritten notes to reveal personal often unspoken stories —highlighting the emotional weight carried by women and the healing power of the natural world
