What next?
Jan Morris:
"It was a pleasure working with the students on the wearable arts windows. Te Papa Store windows are high profile and both girls took on the challenge with originality and great energy.
"Their designs were both eye-catching and stylish. They worked well with me and the brief given them, with an extremely professional result."
Te Papa wanted to carry on the project in 2007 and two students are working on it again. Barbara is wary of the inherent pitfalls of repeating such a project, and has made it clear to the girls doing it that they are to take full ownership of their work and not be too influenced by what was done the year before. "However, it is such a unique, awesome opportunity and an authentic project for my students, who can resist?", she says.
This year the Te Papa Marketing Manager was involved in the initial meeting and presented the guidelines for using Te Papa's thumbprint logo, branding, colours and trade marking.
Sarah is now at Victoria University doing a conjoint Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Teaching degree. Eloise, who received a New Zealand Scholarship Award for Technology at outstanding level, visited London in 2007 with the Young Shakespeare Company.
