This year Camac are
organising a Design Competition for students from various selected art / design
degrees around the country.
The 2012 brief is
based around the work of Pugin as he would have been 200 this year. Part of the
aim of this blog is to let the students from those courses know about things
that might inspire their design submissions
He created most of the
surface design in the Palace of Westminster so we went there for an evening
with the Pugin Society.
Here is a taster of
some of his amazing wallpaper – these pictures don't do it justice - the colour is so vibrant. Apparently when Pugins' house in Ramsgate was re-decorated in reproduced Pugin wallpaper, the colour was dulled slightly as it was felt that a modern audience almost wouldn't believe that the original bright colours were truly victorian.
More info about the evening & other Pugin related stuff to follow.
The work of the finalists,
as well as pieces by invited artists and designers will be on show to the
public at various venues later in the year. We’ll keep you up to date via this
Blog as the competition progresses.
