Behind the scenes with @elledecorationuk and @rubybtextiles 📸

We’re delighted to announce that BA (Hons) Textile Design graduate Ruby Bowditch was featured as one of five young British designers to watch right now in this month’s issue of Elle Decoration UK.

Ruby is the only textiles designer who made the list, and the only recent graduate, having been interviewed by the magazine just two weeks after graduating from AUB 🎓

We were lucky to come along to the photoshoot with Ruby and photographer Andrew Urwin @aturwin in the Textiles studio on campus.

We are delighted to announce that Ruby Bowditch @rubybtextiles, BA (Hons) Textiles Design, is the winner of our 2026 Prize for Textiles at Arts University Bournemouth @inspiredaub.

Ruby's collection 'Form and Foliage' is a print and hard surface collection intended for communal office, lobby or outdoor terrace spaces. A range of wallpapers, tiles, wood panels and printed fabrics expresses the beauty of harsh brutalist architecture when combined with abundant plants and foliage. The project aimed to show innovation, craftsmanship and high quality finishes through trialling screen printing with different pigments and processes, laser cutting and etching, UV printed textiles and surfaces, digital print and Irish embroidery.

Ruby said:
'I am very honoured to have been awarded the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation prize for my graduate textile collection. Having my work recognised is so encouraging at the start of my career as a designer and I look forward to seeing where it will take me'.

The award was adjudicated by our Honorary Trustee Mary V. Mullin.

Congratulations Ruby @rubybtextiles!

Madeline Dearlove and Sophie Laird were runners-up.

Ever wondered how a textile design takes shape from start to finish? 🌱

Spend a day with Ruby Bowditch (@rubybtextiles), a BA (Hons) Textiles Design student at @aubtextilesdesign, as she brings her ideas from sketchbook to life. Watch her paint and draw her own motifs after experimenting on a ZSK embroidery machine, transforming her designs into stunning textiles.

It’s hands-on, detail-driven and seriously satisfying to watch 🤩

Catch Ruby and 2,500+ emerging designers at ND26, 1–4 July at the Business Design Centre.
