Carolyn Gavin

I have followed Carolyn Gavin's work for a while now but haven't posted anything recently I felt it was appropriate to re post some of her work as it inspires me so much, her blog is really good, it helps with the process of seeing your work through from beginning to end. As you can see in the images below they represent the vector to the printed format to the product it is being used for. I really like using this concept with my own work, especially as an illustrator I feel its necessary to make the final products rather than just mocking them up, it helps your work come to life and you get to see the 'real life' thing.

Catherine Hammerton

The collection of products of Catherine Hammertons work are all very unique in style and take on an layering and collage technique which is not something you usually see on ceramics. This module has made me realise that I really enjoy designing home wear products, this is something I definitely want to look further into and I think contacting Catherine and getting some questions answered would help develop my briefs.

Claire Coles

These are some beautiful illustrations from Claire Coles collection, she works with couture wallpaper to create individual pieces of art. Claire uses pieces of vintage wallpaper and intricately layers them up, embroiding them to create a range of patterns and scenes. I love all of her work, especially the bird wallpaper this is a very unique way to design and create. I would love to spend a day with Claire and see how she works and the different types f briefs she gets. This style has opened up new opportunities for me within collage and crafting that I hadn't though I could use before.
