As I have chosen to take the competition route, Danny Kaye will be acting as my client.
Today was my first meeting with Danny out of the proposed three.
The meeting began with myself quickly summarising in brief what my project is and what it involved.
"It's a brief documentary piece on the dwindling lace market in Nottingham."
DK wants know what type of process I have made over the Christmas break, in all truthfulness, not much at the moment. I'm stuck at a cross roads in where to go.
Initially I wanted the Povey brothers (former owners of Fewkes embroidery, referred to in the proposal) in the documentary, but they are proving hard to get hold of and I have begun to worry.
After the meeting I have been given a few names and places to investigate, that may help kick start my documentary:
Clooney Lace in Nottingham, they still manufacture lace using traditional methods and are one of the last remaining houses that still uses these methods.
Amanda Briggs-Goode, head lecturer for textile design at NTU and person in charge of the lace archive in Bonnington.
