25 Feb 12 designers at the Emerging Creatives 2016 exhibition that impressed

We popped in to the Emerging Creatives 2016 exhibition at the Watershed last weekend and snapped pics of some of the work on show. While the exhibition as a whole seemed a little rough around the edges from an organisational and curatorial perspective, many of the emerging creatives presented interesting work that ranged the fields of jewellery design, illustration, fashion, textiles and products. Here are the 12 young designers that stood out for us.
