I'm currently in my first (going into my second) year of Uni, studying Printed Textiles.

I am looking for some work experience/internships in London over the summer to keep me inspired and motivated for the couple of months that I have off!

I've been looking online, and asking tutors if they know of anything, but I know that somethings are best found through word of mouth!

If you (or anyone you might know)knows anything that might provide me with a bit of experience, please get in touch!

I'm interested in a variety of areas, from copywriting, interior design and graphic design, and will most certainly make the most of any opportunity.


Thanks!

Eleanor

I too studied textiles many years ago. I'd advise a little road trip to Deptford. If you start at Parkside Industrial Estate (it sounds glam I know) off Blackhorse road, you'll find a number of the arches are used by established silk screen printers. I've seen somme interesting work going on there.

It might be a good place to start on

I've got a unit there & i'm always finding people doing interesting work

I studied Textile design at uni,specifically weaving.You could try contacting Cockpit Studios in Holborn and Deptford.They are having their summer open studios this weekend and the following one.Or if you are interested try contacting my brother in laws branding company called Multiadaptor as they take on interns quite regularly.They've also started a campaign called 'Pay Nicely' which promotes treating interns fairly,something I truly believe in as not everyone can afford to live in pricey old London for zero wages!Good luck with your search.

Seabag and PohSuan, thank you so much for some great suggestions!

I will definitely be taking a trip to the Parkside Industrial Estate (oo-er!) next time I'm in London, it sounds right up my street!

I will also be contacting both Cockpit studios and your brother in laws company, Multiadaptor. Sounds great!

Thanks again for the suggestions!

      Niko the Plumber.

      Niko has done several jobs at our place in Honor Oak.Recently we've called him out to replace s shower. We thought that the tiles needed stripping out  and replacing. However he explained that the tiles were perfectly adequate for what we wanted. That sums up Niko. He never recommends unnecessary work and is always conscious of cost. He is also a brilliant plumber who is available to offer free advice over the phone if necessary. He is also an incredibly nice bloke. Our go to plumber. He is fair reasonable and very professional. 5*. The only reluctance we have is that he may get too popular and next time we need him we may have a problem because he is so busy !!

      If you've ever seen a cat caught in a hedge by its collar, you wouldn't use one either.

      Folk can’t even be bothered to put a collar and bell around their moggy’s neck so the chance of getting them to sterilise said creatures seems tiny to me.
