New designers

So last week was new designers, where I got to show some of my work alongside lots of other wonderful graduates of 2013 at the Islington design centre. 

It was so exciting to be picked to do this and a lovely way to end my degree. Really great to get to see the work of so many uni students who do similar courses to myself, the work was all such high quality, it was a tad overwhelming, but nice to think these are the people I'll hopefully get to work alongside in the years to come. 

Below are some pictures of how I displayed my work, and LCC's space. 

Tiger print invited me along to one of their creative sessions, me and three other girls had an hour to create a circus themed photo, below is what we came up with.... (photo from tiger prints instagram, tigerprinters)

degree exhibition photos

taking down the postcards

Today, worryingly I think might be the last time I head into LCC, well at least for now. Our show closed on Saturday so it was time to take down our work, pack it up and trek home,  slightly resembling a pack horse. It felt really sad taking down my postcard wall, so naturally I took loads of pictures, and thankfully it was a lot quicker taking them down than it was putting them up. 

Despite this show coming down, I got some lovely news in getting the opportunity to show at new designers. Alongside not only some of my course mates but other university's from across the country. My course is taking part in part 1 of new designers,  from the 26th- 29th June, for more information check out their website - new designers. eeee i'm hoping this will be a fun couple of days. 

bye-bye lcc, i'll miss you <3

bye-bye postcard wall, i shall miss you too

friends, fam, private view and more tea...

So the past 10 days since our final hand in has been pretty busy, we've had our friends and family day, the private view and the exhibition has been open to the public. 

I cant believe its all over already, the last week, let alone third year has just flown by.

 Some lovely ones came to the friends and family day...

you can never have enough tea

a summer garden party... exhibition

This week our exhibition has gone up, ready for marking and our private view. Heres some photos of how putting it all up progressed, woooo. 

Time for tea!

I have spent today (among other things) decorating a giant teacup with daisies...

Dotting more I's

I've found myself getting in quite a few flaps over the past few days, its certainly safe to say I have third year brain! Today unexpectedly things seem to have come together a tad more though, for one a brought myself a giant tea-cup which has filled me with happiness. I've also got an idea in my head of how I want to present my show, which has lifted a weight off my shoulders... hopefully it all works out okiees.... below are some of my test layouts for my postcards. 

above is a ball of hedge which im hoping to hang from the ceiling, with some knitted flowers.

Un-happy accidents

I've been applying my final decals to ceramics ready for the kiln, sadly three of my plates cracked, a not-so-happy accident. I've still got two more of the same style plate to be fired, fingers crossed they wont crack too. Luckily I had quite a few more ceramics so all was not lost. These are some of them...

ooo gnomees..

Yesterday I realised I've been spelling the word Gnome wrong, its a silent G, and apparently everyone knows this!! Poor Mr.Knome and his none existing G.....

some things i've been doing lately
