I am in the midst of my induction week, i've had a tour and a timetable and next week i start my first practical two week project on PRINT! Im going to be screen printing some of my drawings (yet to be drawn.) in collaboration with 2 other students.
Everything is so much bigger, and when i'm there i can't help but be excited and incredibly nosey, people are just so interesting. Ive met people from China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Korea, Paris - we've got a map up in our studio where we are pinning where people are from - nest to our physical 'Pinterest' board so we can all bring in things that inspire us, so we inspire each other.
Its quite an incredible place to be, i feel to thankful. We have a central 'Street' down the middle of our building, where you can get drinks and sit in the open space. Im seriously grateful to be here. Its a big course theres 70 of us, split into 4 groups so getting to know everyone will be hard. Before Christmas i will have done 2 weeks on PRINT, KNIT & WEAVE so have an understanding of each area.
I feel like i've been here for a long time already, and can't wait to get making.
In the mean time, i have finished my personal summer project to knit myself a jumper in time for winter... (My mannequins proportions are un human!)
And picked up some lovely yarn in greenwich on saturday so have started knitting a scarf....
I was privileged enough to be chosen to show my work in the Howard gardens gallery in Cardiff last week. Installing it in a new space proved a bit tricky, but i had a man and a ladder to direct at my wishes.
Rainy London, from my attic....
This term proves to be an exciting one, finding a balance between all that i want and need to do will be the hard bit. I have no doubt this term will take me through every emotion and challenge, but oh my im ready for it :) xxx
