To collect more secondary images I visited Elsecar heritage
centre. There is an antique shop there which has many different things from
different eras. There I found lots of different tea sets and cutlery. I found
some great sets which really support my research, some with intricate detail
and others with soft floral designs. I found some tea pots which were
completely different to normal tea pots they were made to look like ovens and
tins of beer. My favourite sets I saw had a beautiful simple blue rose
detailing on them on a white back ground even though it’s really simple it look
so elegant and effective. I was really surprised on my visit to find some actual
cups from the coronation which is a part of my research. To actually see them
and touch them was quite fantastic; I was able to get images of these as well.
Visiting Elsecar heritage centre was a brilliant experience which has really
helped me when coming to create my tea cups and tea pots; it’s helped me to
think about size, shape, colours and detail. I will be using a lot of what I
witnessed to help me threw my design process.
