A selection of designs will be on display at the V&A from 17th March – 30th September 2012.

Save Motley

Motley is London's leading independent international one year postgraduate level course in set and costume design which was founded by Margaret 'Percy' Harris in 1966. Currently based in a studio behind the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane the course is led by Alison Chitty, with course tutor Ashley Martin-Davis.

In December, Motley Alumni received a letter outlining the possible closure of the school. The letter can be read at http://motleyalumni.wordpress.com/letter-from-john-simpson/
