Gdes3003 Student Visit to The Worcester Resource Exchange

Pictures from today's visit to the Worcester Resource Exchange for Green Design students. Kate who manages the (WRE) was kind enough to give us all a guided tour and intro talk so that students could see the array of materials here - both post industrial boards and papers - as well as art materials too. We've visited the WRE each year and it's common for students to use their materials in either part-developed mockups or their final artifacts when working on sustainable design/packaging projects. Many thanks again Kate! :)

Kate's so-called 'secret place' where all of the materials not
on public display are based.

One of the students looks through the many materials on offer.

WRE manager Kate talks about some of the boards and papers
they have on site.

WRE have a large range of food containers from post
industrial sources.

Kate demonstrates further materials and their possible uses.

Some of the art materials available at the store too.

Many of the books on site tally with those on the
module's bibliography.

More materials - including a vast array of old maps!
I could have stayed much longer (tutor)!
