Showing in London during the Design Festival
We are always keen and excited to show our work.Here we ‘lifted’ the studio and transplanted it into the heart of London during London Design Festival.
The students worked on projects and displayed finished outcomes.Talking to potential employers and purchasers is great experience as they launch their careers.
Hand in for the second years
Today saw a massive flurry of activity from the 2nd years.Deadline day!
The brief went down a storm.Here are some of the results.
Now to top it off with work experience for those selected to go forward.
Bristol Trip
Our 1st year students particularly enjoyed the trip to Bristol yesterday.We looked at street culture, independent shops and galleries,co-operatives, grafitti exhibitions and a scrapstore.Fabulous.We also made some exciting contacts and possible collaborations
Our Japanese students particularly loved the contrast to Bath.They love both places plus the food too.
A good time was had by all.
Bath School of Art and Design.The start of a new assignment for the 2nd years.
The greetings cards,wrapping paper,tags and ribbons brief is always eagerly waited.The 2nd year students appreciate this diversion from a typical textile brief.We are so lucky to be welcomed by a world renowned company into their studio and to hear first hand about the workings of international design organisation.
