3D
Whatever the Season,
whatever the weather and whatever the time of day the sculpture, in the grounds of Bath School of Art and Design,never cease to fascinate
Always revealing something new.
Images on the hoof from our roving correspondent-Zoe Miller.
As part of London Design Festival Decorex opened it’s doors this week and visitors were greeted by the dramatic and sensational work of this year’s graduates Chloe Gregory and Annie James in the Sion Estate Restaurant.
Thank you Zoe for the ‘on the hoof’ shots

B is for Trend Bible
Today the show in Bath School of Art comes down and textiles moves on next week, to
NEW DESIGNERS in Islington.
This week we plan the show.
We will be exhibiting the work of some of our most creative talent either in person or digitally.
Fingers crossed we make it into the Trend Bible tour again.
We are on-trend after all.
Previously selected work by Joelle Preddy.
We hope to see you there.Come and say hello!
To begin the beginning
Before we start to even attempt a textile structure in the form of knit,weave,braid or macrame etc… we look for, and interpret,three dimensional influences.
The lead into this project was research into manmade constructions.
Once recorded the ideas took shape and over one or two days,unique forms emerged as individual students produced their own 3D referencing.
Surfaces,textures,structure,materials and form went head to head in the race for unique starting points.
This week the technical workshops begin with this information as the beginning of the beginning!
Dipping into colour
Having determined their colour palette the students try their hand at mixing the shades and the tones.All based around one hue, the students will be given another hue and the shades and tones of that colour to work with next week
Here we see some really beautiful colours to work with in the future.
Fabric Manipulation
Jo Griffiths shows her incredible skill at fabric manipulation in these exceptional garments.
Jo specialised in printing but progressed,after this experimentation, to using designed fabric to extend the concept.
Before we open this year at New Designers
Joelle Preddy’s work shown last year at 2013 New Designers.
Joelle’s 3D colourful pieces were picked by Style Bible for their trend report.
