Visiting Designer : Teresa Collins

17th May 2006

This 2nd Design Master class is all about Colour, Texture & Finish. Exploring the social, cultural & environmental issues that face modern designers, it will be a fully interactive session, providing direct access to a practicing designer. After observing Teresa Collins at work, you will have the opportunity to develop your own designs and hear her professional feedback.

Grounded in a Bahaus approach to creative thinking, the Colour, Texture & Finish masterclass will explore the language of colour, facilitating personal design & development.

Although places are limited, the event is FREE. All you will need are 5 examples, either images or objects, of design references that inspire your use of colour. 'NO DESIGN ICONS' Please.
