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 widest sense, we have shared values, ideas and amused ourselves with the joy that is design. We are incredibly proud of our efforts 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, youll see more than just a business card of each individual, we aim to offer 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 guys and gals have worked their socks off, an excellent gang indeed and we are incredibly proud of our success. Team Textiles

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 afford 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, find 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 you stick to good youll never have real growth. Bruce Mau Manifesto for growth No. 2

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 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 Designer 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.
READY FOR THE WORLD

Catherine Momcilovic Studio Workspace, 2013 Stephanie - Rose Turner Studio Workspace, 2013
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 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 profile fashion houses and textile organisations. Companies we have recently sold to include the likes of Lacroix, Louis Vuitton, Custo Barcelona, Heritory, Alexander Henry Fabrics and Desigual amongst others.
Our annual Worthless & Priceless exhibition celebrates values of sustainability, ecology, upcycling, 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.
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 mundane permeates 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 we Similarly, our participation annually at Artists book fairs rejoice in our achievements in this respect with our annual offers us the chance to work with slow crafting to produce Golden Pen awards. These items and ideas that champion awards, held internally, seek to promote and celebrate hand over machine.

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.

Nikki Barker at Zizzis We work with pre & post graduate artists. Hannahs work was of a very high standard, and was more thought through than some of our qualified 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. Helen Truran at Jonathan Saunders Hannah worked mainly on Mens AW13 and Prefall 13 development, experimenting
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.

The majority of our graduates are employed in design teams or studios in the wide range of industries our subject covers and others establish their own practice as designers/ makers. Whatever the individual chooses, our world of design is rich, exciting and fluid. 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 were not just good at what we do, we like to think that perhaps youll agree with us and recognise that perhaps were just a little bit special too.
