Unlike most other graduate shows, substantially all profits from sale of products are returned to the designers.

REBECCA SIMS
Rebecca Sims graduated from the University of Falmouth in 2011 and works from her own studio in Cornwall. For our 2011 edition of Do Masters Rebecca showed her series of hand-made Porcelain Teapots, which hark back to a “make do and mend” era when much loved everyday objects were innovatively restored using limited resources rather than thrown away. Rebecca slip-casts in porcelain from moulds taken of everyday objects (including tin cans, taps and handles of scissors) to replace the parts of teapots that are commonly broken or chipped, thereby transforming the ordinary teapot into a unique object which retains its function whilst celebrating human ingenuity in a witty and original way.

Victoria studied Interior Design at Camondo in Paris before graduating with her MA at the Royal College of Art (Design Product) in 2008. For our 2008 edition of Do Masters Victoria presented her Domestic Landscape series of carafes. These vessels (in Jasperware, earthenware and porcelain) are inspired by ordinary plastic jerry cans, the functional aesthetic of which is distilled and captured in their bold, graphic shapes and industrial colours of black, blue and white. Grouped together, the carafes present a domestic landscape that is striking, dynamic and elegant.
