National Saturday Club Masterclass with Ella

A Peace Flag for Ukraine, designed by Students from the Fashion & Business and Art & Design Club members of the City of Oxford College.

This was a truly collaborative piece, with the clock ticking, as they had to design, carve and print the wood block designs, cut, sew, and piece the motives together in one session! One group focussed on the block printing, and the other on making and sewing the symbols of peace and unity onto the base flag. I provided the base fabrics and remnants from my collections, and the Students sketched ideas before we came together to curate and decide who should do what.

The National Saturday Club Summer Show is returning to Somerset House from 4–12 June. This year’s exhibition features the work of 1,500 13–16-year-old National Saturday Club members who have been attending weekly Saturday Clubs at 56 universities, colleges, and museums across the country.

I am proud to be part of the Masterclass programme, it will be an inspirational showcase of the ideas, creativity, and innovation of the nation’s next generation.

I used to roam around my dad’s wood workshop in West Yorkshire, terrorising his colleagues and making wooden sculptures. I’d accompany him to the demolition sites of the old mills of Manchester and Leeds that were being pulled down; everything within the mills was meant to be burnt, however, he’d salvage wood, bobbins, and cast iron objects and use the materials to make floors and furniture out of the reclaimed timber and other items. The idea that you could make something out of nothing interested me.

I work with developers, designers, and other creatives to create stand-out visual identities, websites, and marketing.
