CRAFT FESTIVAL

• LIVE CLIENT BRIEF

  • Mar 2020 - Jun 2020

  As part of this live brief, I was asked to repurpose old festival vinyl materials into a collection of decorations that would be usable items. I had to present concept ideas to be used at the Craft Festival in June 2020. I pitched my idea to the team which was a fringed archway for the entrance of the festival. I vat-dyed the vinyl and fabric foiled with silver to give texture hand embellished beads and sequins onto the vinyl fringing. This archway was an important part of the craft festival and provided a pleasant backdrop for photos. This proposal was pitched against thirty other contestants, Bovey Tracey selected and finalised my concept, but the craft festival was cancelled due to Covid-19
