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, ourcuriosity and

our professionalism.

As a team, indeed a tribe, of

printers, dyers, illustrators,

stylists, colourists, makers and

creators in the widest sense;

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 camaderie.

Within this yearbook, youll

see more than just a business

card of each individual, we

aim to oer you insights

to events and experiencesthat 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 guys and 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 own

individual 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. It is 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 you

stick to good youll never have

real growth.

Visiting Professionals,

Events and 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

actively is involved with

visiting professionals and

collaborations (live briefs)

to produce the creation

of beautiful, versatile and

considered works.

Collaboration with industry,

international tours, design

competitions and work

placements all contribute to

an appreciation of design

application and realisations.

Recent speakers have

included the winners of

New Designers of the Year

Louise Tiler and Abigail Borg,

Wallpaper Designer/Makers

Deborah Bowness, Rachel

Kelly and Sarah Milton,

internationally celebrated

author and curator Mary

Schoesser, as well as artist/

makers Patrick Hartley

(designer for Lady Gaga) and

Tabitha Moses.

New Designers, a showcase

for emergent graduating

designers held in London

each year, provides us an

opportunity each year to

present to the professional

design community, the breadth

of quality, invention and

creativity we have developed

over the duration of our

degree period.

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 and

trends, Indigo. We identify

forthcoming seasons key

trends, colours and looks and

then interpret these within

our design responses to

produce exciting, styled and

fresh solutions for the fashion

and accessories market

to a number of high prolefashion houses and textile

organisations. Companies we

have recently sold to include

Lacroix, Louis Vuitton, 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 artefacts

that 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 participation

annually 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 andagain we like to slow things

down a touch, to engage with

respect and appreciation for

the process, tradition and

quality of craft.This philosophy

and celebration of quality,

beauty and excellence over

the aversion of the mundane

permeates then throughout

the rest of the programme.

We work with pre & post

graduate artists. Hannah

Rs work was of a very highstandard, 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 backat any time.

Helen Truran at

Jonathan Saunders

Hannah HJ worked mainly

on Mens AW13 and Prefall 13

development, experimenting

Hannah Locker

Tes t imon ia l s

with design ideas in Photoshop

and Illustrator to work towards

woven, knit and print designs.

Under constantly changingbriefs 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 preparingthe 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 L was able to be part

of the print technical team for

a collaborative project and

also for the initial

print development.

The majority of our graduates

are employed in design teams

or studios in the wide range of

industries our subject coversand others establish their own

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.

Looking at our success,

employment, accolades and

commitment to our discipline,hopefully you appreciate that

we are not just good at what

we do, we like to think that

perhaps you will agree with us

and recognise that perhaps we

are just a little bit

special too.
