Manchester School of Art - The Refurb

A bit about me - Alongside running my little digital print industry I am a tutor at Manchester School of Art. It's a job I really enjoy and since the university underwent a massive multi million pound refurb the building is a delight to work in. I graduated a few years ago and i'm sure all of my fellow graduates would have loved if the work spaces were like this whilst we were there. Moaning aside, I thought it would be interesting to document my time with the students and (with their permission) let outsiders see into their design processes. 

So i'll kick off with Hollie Davies, follow her on Twitter here @HollieDavies20

A few quick snaps of the refurb and the fashion students settling in
