Designing Pride in American Made Textiles

 Second year Interior Design Student, Sheryl Pugh, just completed a volunteer project for Wells Hosiery of Asheboro, North Carolina.  As a way to boost design aesthetics and pride in their manufacturing plant, Pugh designed a twenty-five foot long mural replicating the American flag using over a hundred stockings made by the workers.  Pugh worked with the company's textile designer and colorist to custom design and dye each hose to be woven into the design.  After conceptualizing the mural took a team of three people two days to complete. 

The outcome is nothing short of spectacular stated, Vice President of Operations, Mickey Smith; who was impressed with Pugh's creative talents.  "She (Pugh) really grabbed the essence of what our company is about and we are grateful."
