Hafren Gallery: Current Exhibition

'Being inspired by Pryce Jones'

Students from Newtown Fashion and Textiles Academy took part in a specialist print making project led by Brian Jones, a former Laura Ashley print maker. The focus of the project was the creation of repeat prints inspired by the Pryce Jones centenary celebration catalogue.

During the workshops, Brian Jones demonstrated key techniques used in printmaking, including motif development, layout planning and the construction of repeat patterns. The students referenced imagery and decorative styles found in the centenary catalogue and used these as inspiration to create their own designs. Students were supported individually to refine their ideas and resolve technical challenges within their patterns.

The project celebrates the lasting influence of Pryce Jones on design and provided the students an opportunity to connect with local heritage. As a result, the students have successfully created repeat prints inspired by the 1959 mail order centenary celebration catalogue.
