New Designers

A second trip to London in less than a week. This time it was college connected as the main aim was to visit the New Designers exhibition at the Business Design Centre Islington. The third year graduates from the Northern School of Art were displaying their amazing collections as were the creme de la creme from many art colleges across the country -  it was like going to every ones 'best bit' degree show. The Northern Art stand looked vibrant and well displayed and stood among the huge amount of other work on show.  Across the whole building the designs, collections, displays were extremely varied, very well presented and inspiring. There was a lot to look at. Many different disciplines based on textile design and embellishment. I really enjoyed seeing the variety in weaving and embroidery. There lots of colour and textile just an Aladdins cave for an aspiring textile student.  

There was so much to look at and the hard work and talent was evident and in places exceptional... I took a few photographs of peoples work - with their permission and also permission to share on this post.  I am trying to credit everyone correctly and feel fairly confident I am doing that but if I have got it wrong please let me know in the comments and I will apologise profusely and rectify any mistakes.  

These three pieces hung beautifully together. The designers left to right
