I found this trip particularly interesting, being shown the archives and the collections allowed me to think about possibilities and consider traditional techniques within my work that I could use as part of my chosen briefs.
The carving techniques in particular used as traditional love spoons and butter presses inspired me most. wood carving is a technique I would like to pursue with during my time at uni.
At current I feel I am going to pursue the BAMS project but this trip was still of use to me and I enjoyed looking at the collections.
