Hello!
I am a ceramicist based in N15. I work as a wheel throwing and hand building teacher for adults and children. I would love to use this opportunity to use local clay and other found materials to create a mural of tiles made by children and adults alike. I would hold work shops discussing ceramic processes and the science behind them, processing clay and creating tiles that are part of a larger community mural that could be installed in or around the museum.

I am an architectural student who will be graduating from my part 1 soon. I think this would be a great opportunity to put into practise what I have learnt to make a real life impact. It would be great to explore new ways of making whilst incorporating my ideas motivated by accessibility and rooted in enhancing the real human experience to help create a unique encounter.

Flappy Bird remains one of the most iconic examples of simple yet addictive game design, showing how a minimal concept can captivate millions worldwide. Its preservation also highlights the growing importance of protecting digital games as part of gaming history. Stories like this, often explored on Erone Blog, remind us how even small mobile games can leave a lasting impact on the industry.

Comment on A window into Mughal craftsmanship: conservation of a C16th white marble jali by Quan

A beautifully detailed account — the layered restoration approach (cleaning vs. consolidation choices) reads as a small craftsmanship lesson in itself. As a non-native English researcher, I keep coming back to V&A blog posts as a vocabulary source: the technical conservation register (jali, pietra dura, gilding, consolidant) is exactly the kind of specialist English that's hard to acquire from textbooks. Tools that turn YouTube museum talks and conservation walkthroughs into vocabulary practice complement well — free options like YouTube English vocabulary handle click-to-flashcard cleanly, with UI in 10 languages for international students. Looking forward to seeing the jali on display.

I assumed this would be on until next weekend, so it was a shame to find it already removed when I visited on Friday 24th. Still, I enjoyed its successor display on ‘Expanding the Book’.

Comment on Explore the V&A Archives Collections at V&A East Storehouse by Ben

I really like the idea here — not just preserving collections, but making them easier for people to encounter and connect with. Once access becomes more open, presentation matters even more too, especially when people are sharing objects, stories, or exhibition ideas visually online. If you want to make design or image concepts more tangible, GPT Image 2 is interesting to explore.

Hello,
As a creative and mum of 4 children of various years and a frequent visitor to the V&A. I believe this opportunity is the one for me. I would love to be given the opportunity to take part because I believe that I have ideas from my experiences in life that could make a huge impact in this project.
I can draw from my very own personal experiences to create a space that will influence and inspire wonderful things. I know that what I can bring to the table will be fresh, exciting and meaningful. All I need and would appreciate is a chance.

I am very interested in this opportunity as an artist and designer who works in multiple mediums regarding memory, childhood, home, and play. My practice focuses on storytelling, especially the stories that emerge during childhood, and presenting them in engaging, playful, and thought provoking ways to the viewer. My portfolio is at https://www.annlitico.com/

This is a wonderful opportunity to inspire children and young people. I would love to introduce my ideas at the V&A which are many. My degree was in fashion but I have explored many areas in the design field.
