The Bristol Collaboration project  2017
Collaboration with Dave Bain / Falmouth University Alumni

Dave Bain is a graduate of Falmouth , living and working in Bristol . Dave practises as an Illustrator and has also set up Illustration studios in the Stokes Croft area of Bristol and is responsible for setting up Illustration collectives in Bristol. In 2017 , Myself and Natalie Hayes collaborated with Dave to develop a study trip for Level 2 students to visit Bristol . Dave acted as Co-Ordinator and together we developed an itinerary of student visits to Illustrator / Artist studios including Hamilton House , Jamaica Street Studios and Space Gallery , where Dave currently has a studio. A brief was devised , related to the theme of ' Regeneration ' and work produced in response to this was exhibited on the final day of the trip in the gallery area of Space studio.
A workshop was delivered by Tom Newell of Limbic Cinema ( in which drawings made by students were converted digitally and projected onto both 3D and 2D formats. One of the primary purposes of the project was to introduce students to the concept of locating as a professional in Bristol as an alternative to London. We have a large alumni presence in Bristol and the trip was conceived to strengthen these connected communities of practitioners with our students.
