Hemingway Design

Posted by Andy on May 27, 2011

The Wash team went to see Wayne Hemingway doing a talk at the Design and Wine lectures courtesy of Croft Goode Architects last night. It was a really interesting and challenging talk. If anyone gets the chance to go see him I’d highly recommend…

Thread Installations

Posted by Emma on May 23, 2011

I found these beautiful sculptures by Gabriel Dawe on Design*Sponge a while ago and have only just got around to posting them. Dawe’s latest large-scale installation, Plexus No. 4, uses over 50 miles of thread and is strung on wooden planks creating these amazing floating rainbows.

Little brother speak up!!

Posted by Andy on May 15, 2011

I was kindly invited to talk at a Mini Network event… Only to find it isn’t always easy to get your views across in front of an audience. I enjoyed the experience, but I felt it maybe could have done with a little more cut and thrust. After all creativity is about challenge things is it not?

Thanks to all who attended and supported our ‘new studio’ warming bash. We had a lovely time with some good chat and banter. Not to mention ‘great pies’ from Winckley’s. They were bloomin’ amazing! All ending up at the Continental Beer Festival… Tom Kidd, Al Heighton and Chris Anderson in at 2:30am… bad lads!

Work has started on the graphics for the studio hallway. Hopefully we can get quite a bit done before our studio warming party on the 12th May. Here is a little teaser.

Really liked this work Tavis Coburn. Love the retro thing… Love the cycling thing. Great work.

Velodrome

Manchester Velodrome

Posted by Tom on May 3, 2011

Bank holidays are made for doing stuff like this! I spent a few hours on Sunday at the Manchester Velodrome “hitting the boards” with Clitheroe Bike Club. Once you’ve built up the confidence to make your way up the track you can really get flying. Chris Hoy watch your back… an awesome experience which comes highly recommended.
