Textile designer Lucy Jamieson graduated from the University of Brighton in 2003 with a BA(Hons) in Visual Culture.

​This opportunity to study art and design history through the ages greatly informed and enhanced her own creative practice; which pre-dated her academic studies, continued throughout her course and now takes the form of textile design; experimenting with different materials and styles with a view to establishing her own product range.

Her creative career began in 1989/1990 with a six-month period of study at the Highfields College of Art and Design in Huddersfield and with the publication of an ink and brush drawing in the Huddersfield-based poetry magazine, The North.

​More recently , she has published her work through Saatchi Online , is continuing to develop the textile design and illustrative aspects of her work, inspired in part by William Morris and Arthur Rackham, and will shortly be establishing a range of textile products based on her own designs.
