The South Kids at ArtPlay were particularly keen to see the silicon block that Maldivian stone carver Ahmed Nimad was working with. Ahmed stressed greatly the adaptability of Maldivian design, beyond stone carving to graphic design and fashion. He is hoping that his visit will leave the South Kids with a lasting legacy. Let's see if in the next generation of Victorian designers and makers reveal strange curvilinear patterns in their work. To the right are some of the materials they have been gathering for Lorraine Connelley-Northey. Ahmed and Lorraine are getting together next week to make their piece for the Common Goods exhibition to open on 28 February.
