Last week of #MakersInMay and the prompt is 'Proud Of'. We are very proud of our all of our students, but at this time of year we are particularly proud of our final years, who have worked very hard to finish their FMP's for last week's deadline! BRAVO 👏👏
What are you proud of?

Hi all, I am Katrina McLaughlin @kaldermist, a part-time lecturer on the textiles course @ada_huddersfield teaching, Future Materials, Craft, CAD, Print and Embroidery.
I started off as a traditional printer and embroiderer but soon fell in love with all things digital. Recently I have started to delve into the world of 3D print which has been the catalyst for my Ph.D. research.
When I am not at work I am developing my own practice, which has started to look into jewellery, accoutrements and surface design.
I am so proud of the final years that have handed in. They were the first students I met when I started four years ago and I am in awe of the work they have made this year!
I had to include a snapshot of my muse and best bud Django the Bearded Collie!

Sweat Powered Electronic Skin
Caltech's Wei Gao, assistant professor in the Andrew and Peggy Cherng department of Medical Engineering has developed an electronic skin, or e-skin, that is applied directly on top of your real skin. The e-skin, made from soft, flexible rubber, can be embedded with sensors that monitor information like heart rate, body temperature, levels of blood sugar and metabolic byproducts that are indicators of health, and even the nerve signals that control our muscles.

#HudTextilesAlumni this week is @hmillsstyles. Hayley graduated from Huddersfield in 2006 with a specialism in machine knitting. In 2012 she decided to take the plunge and start her freelance career, starting with an MA in textiles at Manchester School of Art.
Hayley is now working as a freelance textiles tutor for organisations like Leeds Playhouse, The Embroiderers Guild and The Arts Council, delivering a rage of classes from hand embroidery to patchwork. She also teaches on community and collaborative projects, using textiles to tell stories and promote wellbeing.
Hayley's has been exhibited in museums and heritage sites throughout the north including Whitby Museum, Sunny Bank Mills and the Thackray Medical Museum. Site specific installations explore museum heritage collections and allow audiences to explore the history of objects in an innovative way.
"I love being freelance and no two weeks are the same."
