The location of Thelma's dress shop is right in the heart of Liverpool and is called 'NicoLiverpool'
I emailed Thelma asking if it was ok to make a short documentary on her.
As you can see, she replied saying she would love to do it, but unfortunately Channel4 refused to let her be a part because she has a legal contract with them.
New Idea
Whilst waiting for a reply off Thelma, Robbie, Zach and myself researched hotspots in Liverpool. Zach e-mailed around the landmarks including Bluecoat gallery which Zach, Jordan and myself have been to before so we know that it is a very interesting place.
Zach had an e-mail back off the Director of the bluecoat gallery saying that they are busy on them days because they are getting new exhibition. But she was nice and kindly said we can film there as much as we like in the gardens and we can have 30-60 minutes in the gallery, so if planned right it will be fine.
This is what she said "> Dear Zach,
Thank you for your request - we are rather cramped for space and unfortunately we are changing exhibitions next week so quite busy. There is a garden outside and a large art centre, so you probably could do some around the building - check with tickets and information at the bluecoat - if you were just using very compact equipment and there was just one or two of you, we might be able to squeeze you in for 30 minutes or so, but be warned, any breakages would have to be paid for! Many thanks and good luck with your exercise,
kind regards,
Maureen BamptonDirector"

Charitable Aims
The Bluecoat Display Centre is a registered charity within Arts and Culture.
The objectives are:
1. Raising the public’s aesthetic appreciation in applied art and design; and
2. The provision of educational lectures, workshops and exhibitions at the Bluecoat Display Centre, Liverpool or at such other premises as the charity may from time to time occupy.
The Bluecoat Display Centre’s mission is to promote excellence in design and workmanship within the contemporary applied arts both nationally and internationally. We aim to increase the publics awareness and appreciation for the work of leading and emerging artists through exhibition, education, display and sale, and consequently to support the contemporary craft infrastructure.
Bluecoat Display Centre welcomes enquiries from organisations regarding charitable giving who empathise with these objects, and has many sponsorship opportunities connected to the exhibition and workshop programme.
History
The Bluecoat Display Centre originated as one of this country's earliest craft galleries in 1959. The founder of the Display Centre; Robert Gardner-Medwin, Professor of Architecture at Liverpool University, aimed to promote and display the work of leading designers of the time from a large studio in the Bluecoat Chambers. His ethos continues today, as a non profit distributing organisation promoting the finest contemporary craftwork by leading designer/makers.
Gardner-Medwin intended the work shown at the Display Centre to enhance good architecture and interior design and today we find we are still the place that leading professionals involved in Liverpool’s renaissance visit to achieve this.
What they do
The Bluecoat Display Centre is Liverpool’s only independent contemporary craft gallery. Since it was established in 1959, the Display Centre has been recognised nationally and internationally as one of the UK’s leading galleries specialising in contemporary applied arts, showing and selling some of the finest work made by professional craftspeople from the North West, across the British Isles and beyond.
Display Centre Director, Maureen Bampton and her team, continually endeavour to present new and challenging work and an annual series of changing exhibitions in a setting that is welcoming
and inspiring. The creative programme is supported by a series of artist-led workshop and talks, often by artists and makers who exhibit in the gallery.
Location
The Bluecoat Display Centre is situated in the heart of Liverpool City Centre, neighbouring the newly regenerated Liverpool One area. We are surrounded by a wealth of galleries and shops, restaurants and cafes, as well as convenient parking and public transport links.
