A NEW exhibition about famous designer Robert Welch is being held in Broadway later this year.
The exhibition Robert Welch: Early Years from a Cotswold Workshop opens at the Gordon Russell Design Museum on Tuesday, November 1, and runs until mid-December.
It explores the first years of Robert Welch's career as a designer, charting his progression from studying silversmithing at the Royal College of Art in London, to his move into designing for stainless-steel production, whilst also considering his relocation to Chipping Campden.
Robert Welch was brought up in West Malvern and studied at Malvern School of Art before going to the RCA.
By using models, prototypes and finished pieces, the display will consider the relationship in his design work between innovation and tradition, and his enduring belief that it was possible to blend the best of the old and the new.
