New Designers

Last week I was at New Designers with the other Surface Pattern and Textile Surfaces students who had chosen to go.

It was a great experience, and very successful!

Was lovely to talk to people about my work and get some great feedback about what I have produced at my time at University. I think the experience is invaluable in terms of meeting people, making contacts in the industry and practising talking to strangers about your work!

It has definitely helped me!

Now University is all finished (apart from Graduation on the 12th July!) I am doing some placements, competitions and maybe some freelance work if I can squeeze it all in, I like to keep myself busy!

Here are a few snaps I took whilst at New Designers:

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!
