HEIA Totally Gorgeous Textiles poster series

One collection of posters $40 including GST and postage OR
Both collections for $65 including GST and postage

HEIA has developed a set of posters called Totally Gorgeous Textiles. These complement the first in the series Simply Gorgeous that showed twelve gorgeous food images. The Totally Gorgeous Textiles posters are designed to create an environment that is modern, professional and just plain “gorgeous”. Whilst designed primarily for use in school and TAFE classrooms, no doubt the posters will find their way into many settings where beautiful images of textiles and dress are appropriate. There are six posters in each collection.

Collection One, ‘The colours of culture’ is a set of six posters of traditional dress in six different cultures that capture the totally gorgeous richness and vibrancy of cultural dress. Whilst chosen to illustrate the diversity and beauty of global textiles, they equally tell many stories about our cultural diversity.

Collection Two, ‘Touching Textiles’ is so called because the images inspire the love of textiles for their tactile beauty. The collection of six posters shows fabrics of different colours and textures at close range so that you can almost feel their sumptuous gorgeousness.

The two collections can be purchased separately, but they are designed to complement each other with their beautiful colours and shapes. The sturdy 300gsm posters are 840mm x 297mm (yes, long, skinny and modern), are celluglazed for protection, and packaged in a mailing tube.
