Evening classes ran in St Ives and Kimbolton, Cambridgeshire, and participants designed a lounge this term. It was a challenging brief, working with me as their client! Everyone had to understand how I use my lounge in order to come up with a workable design that would fit my needs and those of my family. Then they had a free reign to put together a floorplan and decorative scheme that would be pleasing with one proviso, they had to include a painting by my favourite artsit, David Denby, in the design. Here is some of their work, which went on display at the end of term.
The champagne went to Derrick Spencer Briggs for his lovely presentation and neat drawing. This was Derrick's first term.
There is a great deal of talent in the group and everyone worked very hard to do well. Over 12 weeks with sessions running for 2 hours a week, a total of 24 hours input and class time, it's amazing what can be achieved. What a productive group!
Rebecca's illustration board demonstrates a restrained palette and neatly complements her drawings and concept board. Rebecca completed her second term having carried off the champagne last term!
Caroline is in her second term and her board is complex and clear, containing all the information for her design in one place. Her concept was followed through with panache.
Tracy designed a window seat and her sample board is a layered delight with a colourful splash of terracotta orange! This was Tracy's first term.
Julie created a charming concept full of detail with a touch of glamour. Her first attempt at a concept board and what a success!
Vanessa approached the challenge with trepidation and succeeded with gusto. She has created a balanced room set in her illustration board and even designed a wall unit to accommodate the TV!
