I will be going back this evening along with fellow Bishopslanders to view our work on display as part of the "Inspirations from the Archive exhibition" at the V&A. My piece is a decorative pot and lid for containing loose powder. Designed to be displayed o the dressing table the hand engraved lid is inspired by engraving patterns found in an out of use compact powder case. The engraving is loose and free, circling the edge of the lid, as inspired by decorative casting patterns I found within the V&A archive collections. All work is shown along with the inspiration and design work.
