Ahead of our April CreativeMornings Glasgow breakfast we catch up with artist & Illustrator Alice Dansey-Wright who’s designed two prints that you can have painted onto your denim on the day for Fashion Revolution. In exchange for a suggested donation of £5 in support of award winning Glasgow upcycling project Rags to Riches.

1. What comes to mind when you thought of beyond?

I took it to mean beyond the sky, beyond Earth: stars, space, galaxies and the unknown! This is reflected in the motifs that I’ve designed for the Fashion Revolution garments.

2. If you could sum up Glasgow in one word what would that be?

3. Tell us a little bit about your creative practise?

I took an 8 year break after graduating before returning to my creative practice. I did a fine art degree but realised that I really loved design and saw it as a way to turn my creativity in to a business, which I’ve done- slowly but surely since 2011.

4. What’s one tip you’d give to a new creative for going beyond any limits they’ve faced with their work?

I would say that when you feel like you’ve hit a wall or if you have a problem finishing a piece of work or a project there is usually always a creative solution to turn things around. It’s helpful to collaborate with another person generally but also to bring in friends, family and peers to offer ideas and solutions!

5. Lastly pakora or samosa?

Love both, but I’d say Samosa.
