The Royal Pavilion, Brighton Project
The brief for this special project was to create a scarf design for the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, using the Sussex landmark as inspiration. To kick-start the project Helen visited the Pavilion, returning to her childhood roots in Brighton, taking photos, collecting references like postcards and making visual and colour notes.
