Trip to the V&A

30/12/2013

0 Comments

 
Today I braved the rain and managed to get to the V&A quite early. After visiting the disconcerting 'Tomorrow' installation by Elmgreen & Dragset, I took in as much as possible for inspiration before I got too hungry (the cafe was ridiculously busy and expensive and even though I had budgeted myself a captive audience priced snack I still balked). I started off sketching but resorted to taking snaps on my camera phone, hence why the pics aren't great quality.

Gridiron England 700-1800. Gridirons were used in the kitchen, to support roasting meat or dough directly over the coals. Similar designs of hearts and scrolls are also found on Dutch examples. The handles, now missing, would probably have been made of wood.
