Artists receive invitation from John Lewis

Miss Barry’s Thirds Art group has been working on a project based around the theme of tea-time and partly involving the design of patterns for the production of tea-towels.  She sent a selection of the designs to the John Lewis Home Design Studio for any comment or response they would be willing to make. The terrific result was the consideration of each design, a series of enthusiastic comments and a very generous offer for the group to visit the John Lewis Design Studio.  Carol Higgs, Manager of the Home Design Team of John Lewis, wrote, “Each pupil has shown amazing ability and great colour and design sense.  They have also proved that it can be fun to turn an everyday object such as a tea towel into a colourful piece of artwork.  Some of the artwork has also great potential to be turned into place mats or even into stunning ceramic teapots and cups and saucers.”
