This project teamed MA Textile students from Chelsea College of Arts with the Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture, enabling students to be actively involved in research exploring how ‘inspiration’ gained through engagement with museum collections is translated within the creative process.
Video interviews captured the students’ narratives, providing a potential model for wider engagement with design collections.
Project findings have been disseminated to encourage further engagement with museum collections.
