About
Laura Miller is a textile designer, achieving a BA in Surface Pattern and Textiles from Swansea College of Art, UWTSD. Her practice is multidisciplinary which enables her to create innovative and adaptable designs. Although primarily designing for a fashion context, she has also done work for interior projects.
Her expertise includes lino and screen printing, appliqué, and hand embroidery. Drawing inspiration from nature, folklore, and abstract textures, Laura translates these influences into tactile, modern surface designs that engage both visually and texturally.
Originally from Derry, Northern Ireland—a city with a rich textile heritage. Through her work, she explores the intersection of heritage and innovation, crafting designs that honour tradition while embracing modern aesthetics.
Laura’s latest project, Inis (pronounced in-ish), is a tribute to Ireland’s rich storytelling tradition. Irish folklore is intrinsically tied to the land, and through Inis, she explores this bond, translating the myths and narratives of her heritage into tactile, evocative textile designs.
