I am currently a foundation student at UCA Epsom, studying furniture, product design and architecture for my pathway. This page shows the development of my work through photographs of designs, maquettes and final pieces.

Handmade sketchbooks for third project

For the second SDL project I needed a small A5ish sketchbook to contain research on 2 specific words as well as a new learning journal to record any extra notes. I created both of these using waste packaging and extra paper from old sketchbooks.

The front of the learning journal
The learning journal was created using waste
cardboard covered in an old H&M bag, with
empty cut-up cans on top of this for the outside.

Cello tape was added on all sharp edges to make
 them safe, and opening rings hold together the
covers and pages by holes. Pages can be
added when necessary to avoid wastage. 
The back, once again created using 3 cut-up cans



The second book, to be used as the main research book, was created from 
an old cake-mix box with 6 separate sets of paper (once again 
unused paper from old sketchbooks) sewn into the spine. 
The idea for this book was taken from the book "How to 
Make Books", by Esther K. Smith.
