(Images belonging to self)
William Bean founded Blackpool Pleasure Beach in 1986 with the aim to 'make adults feel like children again'. As Textiles
and Fashion students, we got given the very special opportunity of an exclusive
tour around Blackpool Pleasure Beach and the use of the ice rink. This trip
enabled me to envision the possibilities of ‘Fairground’ and where I could take
my work within weave and embroidery, whereas before this I failed to see what I
could do with the project title. My main attention was brought to the colour
and pattern of the older, more vintage rides, particularly focusing on the carousel. As I’ve
only ever worked with a very limited colour palette, the nature of ‘Fairground’
has made me realise I would really like to work with a wide range of bright,
yet soft colours (very much like the work of Wallace and Sewell).
