Wallpaper for the Palace of WestminsterDesigned by A.W.N.Pugin (1812-52)Produced by Samuel Scott for J.G.Crace1847EnglandColour print from woodblocksMuseum no. E.150-1976This is one of more than a hundred papers designed by Pugin for the Palace of Westminster. It exemplifies Pugin's principles of pattern design, combining rich colours with flat formalised motifs. For Pugin, Gothic was the pre-eminent style. He believed that 'All ornament should consist of enrichment of the essential construction of a building' [Pugin, 'True Principles', 1841, reprint, NY, St Martin's Press, 1973, p.1], and for him only the art and architecture of the Gothic period had fulfilled these ideals. He abhorred the debased version of the style promulgated in wallpapers illustrating Gothic ruins or elaborate architecture.
East WindowAugustus W. PuginSt. Paul's Parish ChurchPugin designed the windows in the main body of St Paul's, which were made by the firm of John Hardman (1811-67). The West and East windows are particularly admired, and have recently been restored. The West window features two rows of figures of the saints, and the East windows shows the Tree of Jesse.

• Hi Les, I got into the RCA and have just had my first week there. It is thanks to the wallpaper exhibition really as the head of textiles saw my work there and spoke to Nick. Let me know when I can get my sketchbook from Caroline, does she live in Norwich?
• Hi Les!Lucky I looked at my emails this evening! My month at Zoffany was fantastic. I was getting really hands on with creating collection mood boards, making colourways, sorting fabric swatches.I was also busy putting designs into repeat, and also creating my own designs, (one of which went into print for Sanderson's new collection). Seeing the archives of both Zoffany and Sanderson was amazing, I found many inspiring, beautiful designs in them and could probably have spent a week in there rifling through it all. I also went to the Chelsea Harbour showroom to see new collections from various companies. I worked closely with both Zoffany designers and the designers from Sanderson, working to two different design styles kept my mind open to new designs, also understanding the difference between the two studios' work. As for staying in London for a month, it has done wonders for my confidence and independence.I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and was sad to leave them!
I hope this is enough for your presentation.
