Studio Houndstooth
Studio Houndstooth is an experimental, multidisciplinary textile & materials design research studio, run by Philippa Brock and Jo Pierce.
They investigate, interrogate and instigate innovative textile and material design processes, making methods leading to final design/future crafts artefacts.
Their methods employ co-design, design thinking, process development, digital and future approaches to textile & materials design and research and can be applied to space, architecture or body outcomes. They instigate their own projects, curate and also work to commission. The studio has been running since 2012, trialling methods, running workshops and developing processes and after much research has launched fully in 2015.
