Design

Starting off my Design Process …

When starting to design my collection to accompany my BTech research report, it seemed the only logical step was to do it on my family. Basically at the end of every year we put together an exhibition of our years work and display our manufactured pieces, generally students work to theme … i guess it makes things easier, some students even base their Btech on the pieces they made. It paints   picture if everything is coherent and connected…so I am designing my pieces around my family tree you could say.

The photographs are from the filing onto final polishing only. The final photographs can be found here.

Through out the last 4 years we are trained to produce industry drawings, with polycolour pencil and also watercolour.
