Staffordshire University Show and Tell Degree Show!

Friday was our opening night, was great to see the studio full of people looking at everyones work, and all making really positive comments. All our hard work payed off and all the work looked great.

I was honoured to be chosen to represent the course by a piece of my work being selected to be framed and hung in the entrance hall where the opening speeches and awards took place.

The work done for Stoke On Trent's Transformation garden was also shown off on a course success story board and on some of the huge posters which is brilliant!

Here are a few images of the my work in the show!

Degree Show Building

This is my degree show space!

I had lots of things I possibly wanted to use but not enough space for them all, so I tried arranging it all different ways to see what fitted best.

After lots of rearranging and days of putting things up and making everything right it all came together really nicely.

I managed to fit in 4 different elements of my work which was really good, by displaying things to make the most of the space I had. I think adding in the floor space made a big difference to the overall feel of the display. 

Looking forward to opening night on the 7th June!

Degree Show Building!

Over the last few weeks we have been clearing the studio, painting boards and putting up our work ready for assessments and then the degree show!

I have also been making things at home with the extra fabric print I did, I have always liked making things but not had much chance whilst being at University. 

Since I always like to be different I chose to make some triangular cushions, to fit in with my geometric theme, and also a bean bag, since I had lots of fabric to play with!

I enjoy doing my research so have been scouring blogs and Pinterest to find some interesting and inspirational ways to possibly display my work too.

Heres where my inspiration has come from, pictures of my work and show space to follow soon!

Kicked Out Of The Studio

Here is our sad lonely studio, being prepared for the degree show, feels odd not to have my own space in there anymore!

Will be exciting to see my space, get painting and have my work on show!

In the meantime I have been making my triangular cushions and bean bag out of my second fabric print and the backing fabric from my first one, which turned out really nice.

Was nice to go from start to finish and design, print and make something of my own.

Even the pup wanted to join in!
