Work Handed In!!!

I have completed my first Northern School of Art Module.  Its plastered all over my bay and has been signed off - the studios are locked and there is no access until the work is marked.


I have really enjoyed this module, returning to creative learning and everything it has offered me.  I would have done it all completely different if I was to start again... but I am still pleased with what I have achieved. 

The reason I would do things differently is mainly down to eventually finding my feet and consequently a confidence which was somewhat lacking and also the inspirational influences of being in a creative environment again. Some of the work displayed my my peers is stunning, amazing and incredibly awesome. I feel lucky to be part of these wonderful collection of textile students.

However my work is what it is and I am happy to have produced some interesting work that fulfills the brief and also that I can see how much further or differently I could do it all again.  All the work is inspired by the ceramic collection at the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle.  In the beginning the idea of a 15 week module was really daunting but actually its great as you have plenty of time to get your teeth in and really spend time developing the work.


I have also submitted two pieces of work taken from the scarf designs, printed on paper and framed, for an exhibition to be held at college, there is no guarantee that one or both will be accepted but nothing ventured nothing gained.   (Not good photos too much light reflecting) I'll keep you posted...

Now I have to fine tune my Material cultures Essay - almost there - and then I have a couple of creative CV's to update and then I can concentrate on my next design module which is based around interior  design rather then fashion.

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira.  An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed.  First of all the weather is really splendid.  Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds..  Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm.    Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
