A trip to the Wallce and Sewell studio in London..

This weekend I decided I was going to take a trip down to London and explore the famous Wallace and Sewell studio, as I missed the opportunity the first time around, I felt it was vital that I had a chance to go. The initial idea of the trip was to flick through the fabulous work inside the shop and gain more knowledge about both the background history of the designer and to try and find out about both present and future projects that they are working on.
Something I was very intrigued to know about the company is where they get there inspiration from, to find out they look at artists and day to day life experiences to get there own inspiration gave me a lot of encouragement for my own work, A look out to aim high and believe I can achieve anything I want too just as they have.

I was very happy with how my visit went as it was extremely successful. I gained more knowledge about the company than I ever imagined I was going too,
I came away bursting with excitement to carry my project on and fully inspired for not only the Wallace and Sewell live brief but future weaving challenges and projects too, including the other part of my location unit.
I had such an in depth experience of the designers work, and feel very lucky that I was able to have an opportunity like this one.

 

This trip also gave me a chance to illustrate and build up a network with a brilliant career and development resource and a practise with a professional textile context.

Inside the Wallace and sewell studio/shop, this space is also classed as there head office and where all the initial ideas, meetings, insperation and sorting of plans gets discussed.
