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 !!

Setting up the Exhibition at Kraak Gallery.

We all arrived at the gallery, to find an old dusty room...........


Working hard....

A hive of activity



My and Safia's work hung ready for the exhibition.



Leahna putting the finishing touches to her exhibition.


...................................well the room looks better now. Photo's, paintings, fabric's and installations
hanging from the ceiling. What a difference 4 hours can make !!!  

Playing around in Holden Gallery and another Tutorial.


Playing around in Holden Gallery in the old Manchester Art School.
Project wrapped round the column.





Another ........

A bit too clean and tidy !!



On the wood floor........

.......and another view .....

.......... and again.



Then after I photographed these images, it was time for me to join the rest of the group for a tutorial.



Looking at Leahna's photographs.

My work in transit !!!

The tutor's went through my work and thought it was too tidy, too neat and needed deconstructing.
So I went home home and found a small electric sander in the shed to break down the paint
and writing on the labels. Also broke some off the sewing threads as well so the labels were
coming apart. Have to say did look better when I had finished it.
