Warning of things to come.... I am starting college again next week!!! Yes I'm once again a fully fledged art student, now enrolled with The Northern Art College - I've got a badge and pen to prove it!! I will be traipsing over to Hartlepool many days a week to study BA (hons) Textiles and Surface Design. I'm excited and ever optimistic that it might be a more rewarding experience then my last attempt. Don't get me wrong there was a lot to like about my last course and I learnt a lot but life at college slowly unraveled as staff were ill and no back fill so no lectures, very little guidance and a disappointing outcome for some at the end. I was lucky - maybe being a 'mature student' helped and I was able to stay focused and get my foundation degree with a distinction and move on to explore different avenues...
I am going to take the opportunity of all this change to try and have a little revamp of my blog... it will still be the same ramblings but I'm hoping to give it a bit of a face lift and return it to its original purpose i.e. to document my textile journey of discovery. Hopefully it will be more about my work and how I am inspired and what evolves - but.... I think life in general is an inspiration and everyday happening, objects, people and places really influence my life and consequently my work - so there will still be inconsequential trivia and useless photos, a chance to catch up on my mad family events and even references to Dr Fred - I just intend to focus more on college working and how that pans out.
To be honest I've no idea how to do any of this so hopefully I'll learn, I managed to get this up somehow 2 and half years ago... I just want to mark a new era in my work so I'm going to look at a new layout, colour scheme etc and see what happens - watch this space....
