RESEARCH WITH MATERIALS

Cardiff castle and its’ patterns

Cardiff Castle has many patterns that I noticed when visiting the attraction:

. Cobbled pathways

. The stairs

. Patterns on the slate slabs on both floors and walls

. Patterns on fabric within the ‘House’

. Doors that had patterns on

EXAMPLES

COBBLED PATHS

STONES WITHIN WALLS

“RUB-INS”

From these patterns I took ‘Rub-ins’, however some didn’t turn out as well as I hoped.
