Here are some of my images from college.

I have been lucky enough to returned to education as a mature student to study fabric design. In the past have made my own clothes, knitted garments and altered clothes to make them up to date or look different. Always taken an interest in fashion, fabric and the construction of garments. Also attended a jewellery design and making course working in silver and gold and still wearing some of my pieces today but gave most of them away as presents ! Spent alot of time restoring old furniture for my home instead of buying new and had some unique stuff !!

The Gallery.

Lovely gallery a fushion of old and modern. Very modern inside and very good good exhibition space. The lighting was good through out the galleries. Had a look around at all the exhibitions, new and old artists alike. The one I came to see was The First Cut and I was not disappointed. The first exhibit I saw were large, colourful flowers, which were fantastic. I looked into this tiny box situated on the wall and that contained a tiny tree cut out of a Burger King bag. Some of the paper sculptures were huge there was a spiral, flocks of birds and books cut and manipulated into shapes. Wonderful to see artist's who can transform such a humble material into intricate works of art.
