"I was working as a graphic designer when I signed up to study Creating a Textile Design Collection for the Fashion Industry with Rowena Luke-King. I would highly recommend this course. It was all extremely enjoyable and informative. During the course I showed the work that I had produced to a textile design agent who signed me up and sold three of my first designs in Japan!!! I have continued to work with the same agent who has been selling really well for me in London, New York and Tokyo. I still can't believe that my dream of becoming a textile designer has become a reality." Rachel Morgan

"With a degree in Fashion, I took three short courses in Textile Design with Rowena Luke-King whilst working as a P.A. After a five year absence from Fashion and with Rowena's relentless enthiusiasm and belief in me, I was quick to regain my confidence and was taken on as a freelance designer for a Fashion Textile agent in London who has been selling my designs in Japan and the United States. I have also successfully completed my first commission, designing fabrics for a range of Horse Blankets for a large UK Horsetack company. Rowena's dedication as a teacher and her generoisity as a mentor has brought this about and I am now refocused on succeeding in the world of Fashion and Textile Design". Anna -Claudine Ripley
