This chapter explores and expands the ideas that emerged during the development of a PhD research project titled 'An exploration of Digital Technology Over a Number of Manipulated Textile Surfaces' carried out by Helen Ryall, one of the authors. The project aims to encourage designers to engage with traditional craft and design methods and apply these to digital technologies in the production of innovative textile surfaces. Within this project Ryall undertook the multiple roles of craftsperson, designer, and technician. The chapter reveals the creative collaboration of all three roles and their importance in the development of and the vision for the creative use of digital technology. It focuses on the exploration of the ideal studio scenario where the three roles collaborate and share their skills in experimenting with digital technologies as a creative design tool.
