Learn/ Inspiration to Realisation/ 23 March 2010
General Information
As part of a collaborative design project jointly developed by Cockpit Arts and Southbank Centre, the selected Cockpit studio holders jeweller Tania Clarke Hall, glass artist Sue King, typographers SORT, textile designer Naomi Ryder and ceramicists Sena Gu and Timea Sido have all responded to the same brief – to create commercial products that take their inspiration from the unique environment of Southbank Centre, from the musical performances to the ‘brutalist’ architecture of the building.
You’ll hear how initial ideas led to prototyping, manufacturing and delivery of the products in store. The talks will be followed by a panel Q&A featuring the selected makers and the Southbank Retail & Buying team, providing further insight and advice on product development for the retail environment.
This seminar will be especially useful for designer-makers who are looking to manufacture products or are interested in developing relationships with retailers.
