Discover Shrewsbury’s That Design Thing, a Local Design Revolution
As a branding content curator, I endorse this charming, ambitious local initiative. Tony Clarkson turned meetup momentum into a festival that feels both intimate and essential. It proves small towns can host big conversations about design and resilience.
That Design Thing gathers leading voices, from Lánre Adeleye to Simon Dixon. Its theme, Against All Odds, tackles creativity during massive technological shifts. Workshops, talks and an upbeat after party create networking and learning opportunities. Only fifty places make attendance a rare chance to connect in person.
For brand people and makers seeking inspiration, this event promises honest stories and useful tactics. Read the full feature to meet the organisers, explore the programme, and secure a seat. As a curator, I recommend this as essential reading for anyone building local creative communities.
Shrewsbury’s streets, historic architecture and creative spirit provide a perfectly textured backdrop for intimate talks and exhibitions too. Tony’s studio, full of found objects and books, captures the inventive mood of the event. This festival feels like a long overdue local milestone, and it could inspire similar initiatives elsewhere. Expect honest stories, practical tips, and warmth.
