Alumni Tanya Fryer has completed the commission she gained while still a student at Bath School of Art and Design.Textile designer’s are so versatile!
Since graduating Tanya has been hard at work completing the piece and the painting is now successfully installed in Southgate Car Park -1 to -2 in Bath UK.
Many congratulations Tanya.That is a magnificent outcome.
…..and if you are quick today you can catch Tanya’s work here.
1st year student Lauren is still moving through Cambodia and engaging creatively with the magnificent scenery.Searching out beautiful architecture,texture,colour and imagery Lauren is combining having the time of her life with research and preparation for her new course.
That’s the way to do it Lauren!.

3rd yr degree student Polly has based her final collection of children’s clothes around her niece.
Exciting prints decorate dresses,tee shirts and assessories.Attention to detail and a love of the unusual make this collection stand out and are creating a lot of attention
Her niece has chosen her favourite outfit!
Soon we will be able to see the whole collection displated in Polly’s exhibition open from June 6 -14th at Bath School of Art and Design
What a joy yesterday, when visiting an interiors exhibition at Manchester City Art Gallery,
to come across this textile reference with links to Bath.
Stones of Bath 1959
John Piper 1903-1992
Made by Arthur Anderson & Son Ltd 1962
Screen printed on Sanderlin(a satirised cotton fabric)
Naturally many of the students mention in their application and interview that they are inspired by the city, its architecture and its distictive sense of style.Of course once the successful applicants are here some of them base research around the cityscape,focussing on the beautifully preserved features of another era.
We as a department celebrate being here in this beautiful city by being involved within the community and forging links with local business’s too.
In 1959 John Piper was commissioned by textile and wallpaper manufacturer Arthur Sanderson & Sons Ltd to design five textiles as part of their centenary celebrations.Stones of Bath was a best seller.Screen printed textiles with a painterly design of earthy colours were popular during the late 1950s and early 1960s.Screen printing also allowed for textile designs with much larger pattern repeats then had ever been seen before.Stones of Bath worked well when seen in long lengths for floor to ceiling curtains.
Pipers textile design is neither completely abstract nor entirely representational.With glimpse of ancient architecture in an abstracted landscape, he expresses the city of Bath as unspoilt and timeless.Piper negotiated a unique path between tradition and modernity that appealed to Britain’s sense of national identity.
In the featured watercolour, also by Piper, of Lansdowne Place East and Lansdowne Crescent 1942 Piper focussed on the Georgian domestic architecture in Lansdowne where bomb damage was greatest

It’s a real honour be be involved with the 3rd year and their wonderful textile outcomes.
Lotte is hard at work turning her cityscapes into fascinating textile pieces.She is working a strong colour palette with a considered drawing style.
Each student has a unique and innovative style.Here we see Lotte in her studio
