Exhibition: New Designers 2012

I was so proud to have been exhibiting my final years work at the New Designers exhibition at the Business Design Centre in London.

I initially went there with the idea that I would just create some interest with the viewers as I want to carry on pursuing textiles as a business, but as time went on, I came to realize that I had fallen in love with Jewellery a lot more than Textiles now, I love the fact that you can just create art pieces with metal, kind of like, wearable art. I would love it if I could incorporate both textiles and jewellery into a uniformed and cohesive pathway.

I was so honored to meet new people as well as see what the other Universities have been up to as well- from what I can see, there is quite a lot of  fierce competition, and I came to realise that my work isn't quite commercial enough to fit in with this kind of environment, BUT I would love it if I could get myself into these kind of events.

Exhibition: University for Creative Arts, Farnham

I was proud to have put both of my work up at the degree show at UCA Farnham; it was a proud moment, because I have had a difficult and challenging year, where I was always over-thinking both projects, and to have pulled through and still have some pretty good looking pieces is amazing.

I now know that I have been a bit too free-spirited this year which is why I have found this year difficult because I had to constantly analyse what I am doing, which I am not good at doing.

The past 3 years has been awesome, with the amount of different techniques and methods I learnt that I would never forget.

However, it has made me realize that I do love textiles, and although I do not want to necessarily just stick myself in that field, because I have found a new love of jewellery making, which is what I would like to pursue so that I can combine both of these things.

If anyone is around Farnham between 11-15th June, then come and see everyone's wicked work; I think everyone I have worked with is amazingly talented and it would be a good opportunity to see some gorgeous pieces.
