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 !!

Kraak in Northern Quarter, Manchester.

Kraak Gallery.


This is where we are going to hold our exhibition. I checked it out on the internet ..... looks interesting and a large area to fill.....I'm sure when all the Play groups have their work hung, will look good if not great!



Ready and waiting for us to go and hang up our work for Unit
X.


Instructions on how to get to the Kraak Gallery.



16th May 2013..... from 5pm to 9pm.  Be there !!! 

A tutorial last Tuesday....

As Jouer we met up for a tutorial with Hannah in 114 room Chatham Building.
Only three of us there, as Ollie was sick and no news from Jacob !



Looking at each others work.

Discussing the project.

My tags again.

Hannah writing about our project and showing us where we
 are going to display our work in the Northern Quarter of
Manchester. 
A very good tutorial. We all discussed our work in great length. I'm still not sure what I am going to do with these tags.............  Feel like shouting HELP !!!

Working on Unit X



 Trying out different ideas........

These are the colours of the old Manchester Art School.
Blue, black, white and gold. 

Experimenting with hand painted luggage tags.

Realised it would take too long to hand paint
and write the names of 175 people associated with
the art school. So brought some spray paint and
experimenting with that. The results in the
above picture.

The spraying of the paint in the shed !!!







Looking good !!


I like the result of the spray paint has a lovely smooth finish
on the tags.

Some I put together ..... not sure at this stage if I done it right.
A close up of my tags.

The Jouer Presentation.

      We met in room 114 Chatham and there was other Play groups there as well. We sat and watched each group do their presentation which I found interesting listening to their idea's.
 Unfortunately there was only three of our group for the presentation. Leahna was ill and Ollie well, maybe  he was busy !!




First play group's Presentation and very good one too. 

Other groups sat listening to the presentation.

Jacob checking his notes for the presentation.
Jacob's laptop ready for our presentation. 

Another very good presentation.

This is our presentation. Jacob did a film to check what you
 can fit into 175 seconds, and very funny it was.

Safia was next to do her bit and also to cover Leahna's idea's as well.
Again she gave a very good performance. Next my turn ...... they were not very
impressed with my luggage tags I had sprayed with paint!! Anyway after
a lot of discussion a few ideas were put forward for me to think about,
which I will take on board....... I haven't really worked out
what I will do with my tags but I'm sure I will get a good idea soon when I
start putting them together .
