2010

In 2010, designer Ella Doran once again worked with secondary students from local London schools, to create a winning surface design to be produced on a bag. This ‘real brief’ gave the pupils an exciting opportunity to work with Ella and to appreciate the steps to making a product.

For Hidden Art Select kids Ella Doran has interpreted the design of Lola-Jan Creese of the Bridge Academy into the LJC Bag (£7.95). The bag is available from the Hidden Art E-Shop.

2009 

In 2009 50 year 9 pupils from three schools (Langdon Park School, Mulberry School for Girls in Tower Hamlets and Mount Carmel Technology College for Girls in Islington) created designs for Ella Doran. A colourful dice design by Halima Begum (Mulberry School for Girls) was selected for production on a 100% cotton canvas bag called the Lucky Bag. 

The Lucky bag was launched at the Hidden Art 20 year celebratory exhibition Transforming Passion into Products (Oxo Gallery, 16-20 September) and was sold at the Hidden Art Pop-up Shop at the Dock during the London Design Festival. It is also still available on the Hidden Art E-Shop for £8.50.
