By Mary Giuffrida<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I graduated with a bachelor\u2019s degree in fashion and textile design, concentrating in fashion design, from the Wilson College of Textiles in 2020. After working as an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher for a year, I started looking for textile related positions in the Raleigh area and found a temporary lab assistant position here at the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really enjoyed going to school here at the Wilson College of Textiles, and I wanted to be able to work in the more technical side of textiles. I liked the hands-on approach of a laboratory, so I applied!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the weaving laboratory, we do everything from warping, beaming, sizing, drawing in, tying in, machine set up, and weaving. Some days could be spent doing machine set up, and others teaching laboratory classes to students or outside industry members. It’s always busy and always fun to come into work and see what we are going to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love the environment here! Every day I get to learn something new and work with different clients, students and faculty members who do such a wide variety of work within textiles. In the same day, I could be working on the medical side of textiles, and then be helping students weave their designs on the Jacquard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like to sew, paint, travel and cook food.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n\n\n
