Salut

Welcome to our programme

and our end of year handbook,

which highlights the joys,

accolades and dedication that

forms part of the experience

of the BA (Hons) Printed

Textiles & Surface Pattern

Design cohort.

Documented and assembled

in March, we seek to

provide you dear reader; a

snapshot of our experiences

and journeys. It is a visual

narrative that seeks to

summarise our passion, our

creativity, our curiosity and our

professionalism.

As a team, indeed a tribe, of

printers, dyers, illustrators,

stylists, colourists, makers

and creators in the widestsense, we have shared values,

ideas and amused ourselves

with the joy that is design. We

are incredibly proud of our

eorts here, for three years

weve toiled, laboured and

just occasionally partied our

way to creating a reputation.

A reputation for success,

based on innovation, ardour,

commitment and camaraderie.

Within this yearbook, youllsee more than just a business

card of each individual, we

aim to oer you insights

to events and experiences

that underpin our whole

programme philosophy, how

we work and importantly,

why we are ready for the

wider world of employment,enterprise and

creative ventures.

This book then is both an

introduction to us and a fond

farewell to our

graduating cohort.

Whether you be a prospective

student, employer or friend,

we invite you to join us in

toasting what has been

another vintage year. The guysand gals have worked their

socks o, an excellent gang

indeed and we are incredibly

proud of

our success.

Learn from your mistakes

The creative buzz emanating,

from our studio exudes

energy, enthusiasm and a

sense of community that is

palpable from the moment you

enter our studios.

Housed in an extensive open

format design studio, which

accommodates all three year

groups, (and importantly

for each student, your ownindividual work areas), the

arrangement promotes a

communicative, collegiate and

thriving creative atmosphere.

Our studios aord students

a place to see the logical

progression from year to year,

to contextualise their practice,

the studio environment really

supports our creativity and

skills development, providing

a forum to showcase ideas, to

explore through drawing and

making as well as fostering

a sense of being part of a

community of designers.

In essence our studio is a

place to grow, make mistakes,

nd a direction, change our

mind and identify what we

want to explore next. Its a

free space of curiosity to seek

doing more than merely

good work.

Forget about good. Good is a

known quantity. Good is what

we all agree on. Growth is not

necessarily good. Growth is an

exploration of unlit recesses

that may or may not yield to

our research. As long as youstick to good youll never have

real growth.

Visiting Professionals,

Events & Collaborations

Our studio may be a

stimulating place to labour

with vision, but ultimately

means nothing if we are not

ready for the outside world.

Being ready to get out there

and take the world by storm.

Looking to external contexts,

employment, global concerns

and developing a design

practice beyond our studio,

the perceptions towards

design and aesthetic concern,

for clients demands from

us that we, recognise,

engage and interpret these

concerns . Our practice

READY FOR THE WORLD



Sophia Gilbert


Selling globally, across

countries as diverse as Brazil,

Japan, South Korea, Germany,

France, Italy and the U.S.

amongst others, every year

we go to one of the worlds

premier trade fairs for textile

design, fashion fabrics andtrends, Indigo. We identify

the forthcoming seasons key

trends, colours and looks and

then interpret these within

our own design responses to

produce exciting, styled and

fresh solutions for the fashion

and accessories market

to a number of high prole

fashion houses and textile

organisations. Companies we

have recently sold to include

the likes of Lacroix, LouisVuitton, Custo Barcelona,

Heritory, Alexander Henry

Fabrics and Desigual amongst

others.

Our annual Worthless

& Priceless exhibition

celebrates values of

sustainability, ecology, up-

cycling, deconstruction

and re-invention. Its about

exploring our immediate

world to identify artefactsthat are intrinsically deemed

worthless and through

manipulation, engineering and

practical workshops we like to

resurrect these found objects,

like a phoenix from the

ashes, to produce innovative

solutions and products that

can be heralded as priceless,

something to cherish and

treasure.

Similarly, our participationannually atArtists book fairs

oers us the chance to work

with slow crafting to produce

items and ideas that champion

hand over machine. Whilst

we work extremely hard here,

now and again we like to

slow things down a touch,

to engage with respect and

appreciation the process,

tradition and quality of craft.

This philosophy and

celebration of quality, beauty

and excellence over the

aversion of the mundanepermeates then throughout

the rest of the programme.

Aesthetic concerns matter

to us greatly, as equally

does the value we place on

theory and academic rigour.

Our approaches to design

are based on championing

the wonderful relationships

between theory and practice.

Providing a synthesis of both

these values, annually werejoice in our achievements in

this respect with our annual

Golden Pen awards. These

awards, held internally, seek

to promote and celebrate

our more serious academic

endeavours.

A space to be wrong

Supported and underpinned

by our excellent

understanding of technical

skills, design principles

and work attitudes we also

like to get stuck in to real

world proper. To that end, in

addition to our events, live

briefs and collaborations, all

of which simulate life outside

our studios, we actively seek

placements and internships.

This years as graduates we

have undertaken a number of

placements with the likes of

Jonathan Saunders, Mirjam

Rouden, Muraspec, Designers

Guild, Specialised Covers,

Amanda Kelly, Lemon Ribbon,

Thornback & Peel, Tigerprint,

Pyramid Arts, Duchamp, Home

We work with pre & post

graduate artists. Hannahs

work was of a very high

standard, and was more

thought through than some of

our qualied artists

Emma Shipley at Thornback

and Peel

Charlotte was a fantastic

intern. She was always

eager to help. Her work was

accurate and neat (which is

vital here!) She was a pleasure

to have around the studio and

we would welcome her back

at any time.

testimonials

with design ideas in Photoshop

and Illustrator to work towards

woven, knit and print designs.

Under constantly changing

briefs and ideas, Hannah

showed great computer skills

and work ethic.

Edward Weale at Lemon Ribbon

The work undertaken by

Emma included designing a

number of projects, as well as

helping us prepare for the show

through pre-show marketing

and stand preparation. We took

her to client appointments and

she assisted us in preparing

the collection to view as well as

dealing with any feedback from

the clients.

Emma had a great insight into

the workings of a design studio

around the launch of a seasonal

collection. She saw how

trends are developed for and

interpreted by designers all the

way through to seeing clients

reactions to those designs.

Yvonne Chan at Olivia Rubin

Natalie has been very helpful

during her time with us, she

was a great help assisting

us, before and after the event

and was especially helpful

and professional during the

event in September. It was a

pleasure having Natalie, she is

very polite and professional in

her approach to work.`

Lindsey Weir at Mary

Katrantzou

Hannah was able to be part

of the print technical team

for a collaborative project

and also for the initial print

development.

or studios in the wide range of

industries our subject covers

practice as designers/ makers.

Whatever the individual

chooses, our world of design

is rich, exciting and uid. It is

forward thinking yet rooted

in history and will always

embrace innovation, new

ideas and vision.
