The origin of design

My work and designs are going to be launched on a fantastic new website called The Origin Of Design. For like minded new designers it can be hard to be seen and to get your name on the radar. This website publicises new designers and they're work. I'm honoured to be featured on they're new website!! Keep a close eye.

Lamp shade prototype

I spent the afternoon making a prototype light shade from rice paper, using my manipulation fold. Very happy with the results.

Exhibition is all done. Please take a look and come to see my work at new designers. Angel. London. 

Final major module #2

It's the final 3 weeks, so much to do!! We've been 'buddied' up with 2nd years to help with our exhibition. 

I'm getting there with my designs and samples are coming together. Now just the huge task of making my final lights and fittings. 

Final Major Module

It's 6 weeks untill our deadline, panic has set in, but I'm feeling confident about my designs. Please take a look and see what you think.

My first trip to Liberty's London

A few weeks ago I had my first experience of Liberty's ... And it certainly won't be the last. It's a textile designers dream with a department dedicated solely to liberty's prints, it was hard to drag myself away!!
They had silk scarfs from various designers in the lobby and a car hanging in the atrium at the entrance. I thought it was a truly unique place to visit.

I also took a walk down an adjacent street and found multiple fabric shops FULL of every type and colour of fabric imaginable!

Final project for second year...done!

Here are a few photos of my final designs all mounted up next to each other in their separate colour ways. Really happy with the quality of the prints, and how they work in different families.

Chelsea design week

Amazing first experience of design week. Wasn't 100% what to expect but some really inspirational shops, designers and designs on such a massive scale. My mind is full of new ideas for my current project thanks to this trip! Great day out, free ride to kings road in a luxury land-rovers oh and I saw Michael Caine...what more could you want ?

 A few samples from my current project, with 2 weeks to go i need to crack on!

 My theme is Brighton and the seaside...what do you think so far??

Hope you enjoyed Photo's from my last Project. I'm happy to say my work will be exhibited in the woollen museum in Camarthenshire, Wales.
