DDD MCR exhibition. Free For Arts Festival

Heres some old images of the DDD MCR exhibition held in the Mooch gallery in October 2010. The event was promoting a group of young designers and their unique styles and approaches to design, expressed in the form of individual chairs.

The event was a great success.

This is Dave, he started working within the Wentworths factory when he was 15 years old. He is now 64. Although Dave is a veteran at the company, with 49 years under his belt, he is still one of the youngest employees.

Wentworths 1

Photos of me producing some products with Wentworths Pewter in Sheffield. Their factory is small with a hand full of highly skilled craftsmen that have been practicing their profession for years. Pewter products and pewter as a material is not as desirable as it once was, and its lack of demand will eventually see the business an factory shut down.

A group of us, studying 3D Design at Manchester Metropolitan University, decided to try and revitalise the material by designing some contemporary products that Wentworths could take to market.
