Awarded commission for Symington Building, Market Harborough

Symington Building Artwork Commission - Swedish Maidens

I've recently been awarded this exciting commission for the entrance to an old corset factory. I'll be creating 9 corsets using crockery, jewels and buttons donated by local people. The corsets will be based on those in the collection. Anyone remember the Liberty Bodice? Well Symingtons made them!

The Symington building now houses a museum, library and government offices. The project is now underway with crockery collection points around the town. It will be launched in the new year.

Harborough website has more details about crockery collections. If you or anyone you know used to work at the factory we'd be really keen to hear from you especially if you have any photographs of the time.
