Semester One in the School of Art and Design is in full swing for 2026, and the RAU Textiles Facility has been humming with activity as familiar faces return and new students join us for the first time. Finn and Dan have been busy inducting students from across the School — including Fashion, Experimental Surfaces, Spatial, Visual Arts, and Postgrad — into the RAU Facility processes, and welcoming our regular users back into the fold. We are all looking forward to seeing their making ideas unfold over the coming weeks.
