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 !!

Working on my Installation for Unit X

After experimenting with my luggage tags, I have decided to machine-stitch them together,which, I think it works very well. Made from 175 tags with the names of 175 people who attended or were associated with Manchester School of Art over the last 175 years. On the back of the tags are the subjects they studied or were involved in.

These are the colours Manchester Metropolitan University now.

The only reference to the Art School colours in
the Special Collections.

These are the colours of the Manchester Art School in 1913.

The back of the luggage tags.

Tomorrow I am going into university for the last tutorial before the exhibition. So while I am there I am going to photograph my work in and around the old art school. Keep eyes peeled for the images on this blog.
