Jennifer Rose Norris’s Textile Designs take inspiration from bone formations combined with deconstructed flower buds. The process uses stitching, fabric manipulation and a range of cutting techniques to transform long flat pieces of material into structural forms.

Her work reflects the qualities that are represented in today’s urban landscapes, through the friction of architectural surroundings and nature’s constant presence.  She therefore chooses a range of natural and synthetic fabrics to work with, which allows her work to demonstrate the contrast found between the materials used as harsh and angular in appearance while remaining soft and tactile in texture.

The designs reflect how textiles can be used sculpturally with a space and also as an extension of the body as a fashion piece or adornment.

Jennifer Rose Norris is a Textile Designer and a recent graduate from the Chelsea College of Art and Design. She is currently exhibiting at the Foundry Gallery, Chelsea. She lives and works in London.

Consume Peckham proudly presents its third edition, co-ordinated by Kieron Dennis. This year sixteen short films have been made by Stage 2 Graphic Design Communication students from Chelsea.

Subjects include an evangelical church, a dog grooming salon, and a Christmas decoration company. Together they reflect the diversity of commercial activity in Peckham. The documentaries also reveal the resilience of a community tested by recent riots and budget cuts and shows how Peckham supports, inspires and provides chances for its young residents.

Consume Peckham presents a truly authentic portrait of the varied and occasionally bizarre cultural mix that is to be found in South London’s most infamous postcode.

The AA2A project is a national set of schemes, providing visual artists and designer makers with the opportunity to undertake a period of research or realise a project, using workshop and supporting facilities in fine art and design departments of Higher and Further Education institutions. This gives participating artists and makers the opportunity to use equipment which otherwise might not be available to them, as well as benefiting the institution by bringing in ideas and techniques which may not otherwise enter the college environment. (www.AA2A.org)

Graphic Design Communication at Chelsea have been invited to work exclusively with Comic Relief and Sports Relief. Six stage three students were invited for apply for three placement opportunities…and all six were all successful! Tom Brushwood, Daniel Cooper, Jack Haslehurst, Sophie Heath, Christian Jeffery and Emma Noble will be developing creative strategies to enhance this famous charity.

Red Nose Day has become something of a national institution since its launch in 1988. In 2011, more than £102 million was raised to transform lives. It just goes to show what a difference a Red Nose Day can make.

Bill Gosbee, Head of Creative Services of Comic Relief, adds: ‘Comic Relief’s greatest asset is its sense of humour and fun, cheeky tone of voice. We had a great meeting with the Chelsea student team and all the portfolios were pretty remarkable’.

Students from Chelsea’s Gaduate Diploma Interior Design were awarded 3^rd place in this year’s American Institute of Architects (AIA) Charrette11.

This year the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) collaborated with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) on their annual student charrette and it was opened up to Interior Design students.

Students were divided into groups for a day of intensive problem solving at the Architectural Association. This years’ challenge was to design an extension to the British Museum, The students were split into 9 teams and one mentor was appointed to each group before they received their brief. The teams visited the British Museum before going back to the Architectural Association to start their work. The groups had until 4.30pm to finish the assignment and creative sparks were flying.

The groups competed to produce the best solutions possible to a design assignment given at the beginning of the day and are guided by professional architects, interior designers and educators. Paul Finch CBE, head of Design Council CABE, chaired the jury and was joined on the judging panel by Graeme Brooker, head of Interior Educators, and Stephan Reinke, the first president of the AIA UK.

Following our introduction for Chelsea MA students to the Chelsea Salon Series on November 8th in the Triangle space at 5.00 pm we are holding an event in a space that we hope to be using in the future.  All CCW students are welcome.

Brunswick House is just over Vauxhall Bridge on the right and only a few minutes walk. It is a great venue with a wonderful bar and a zany collection of antique furniture. Jackson Boxer who runs the bar has incredibly generously donated the space to us exclusively on condition that everybody buys a drink which doesn’t sound too onerous!
It also has a stage. We are looking for volunteers who would like to do some performance with Chelsea Alumni and indeed for anybody who has ideas for performances which they would like to put forward to us.

IT SHOULD BE FUN so do all come along!

 Monday 14 November  6-9 pm
