I’ve been a bit under the weather this week so I’m falling back on a slightly lazy post! My degree assignments have been featuring areas to research and they are often asking us to look at an artist or a technique/movement. They’ve been pretty specific but this time we have free rein. Just go out … More Research ~ Anya Gallaccio
Disclaimer: This blog post might seem a bit pointless but I’m trying to get into the habit of posting regularly. I recently read this post from stuartdanker.com (check him out, he’s funny!) about consistency especially in blogging and it made a lot of sense to me about a lot of things really. I created a … More Sketchbook
Assignment 5 was going quite well, till I hit a major speedbump. My sewing machine is not a happy bunny. Untouched for ages, I’m having major problems trying to get it to do anything, I’ve worked out where the problem is but I just need some time to get it cleaned up, oiled, and just … More Zen and the Art of Sewing Machine Maintenance
Assignment 5 is due in less than a week. I’m tip toeing towards my finished collection but there is still a lot to finish off in the next few days. In the meantime here is a little selection of the drawings/mark making/source photos that I’m basing my capsule collection on. This has been a strange, … More W-I-P

I … More Solar Dyeing

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve blogged and it’s been a weird few weeks! I applied for pretty much my dream job, not to mention with a dream salary. Didn’t even get an interview and to be honest I don’t know what I was thinking. These little knocks do make you think about a … More Still Here
Last week I had my tutor feedback on my last assignment, my tutor is lovely and her job is to bring my attention to strengths and weaknesses I have. Even when pulling me up on something it is done in an incredibly positive way. I honestly feel I’ve learned from her feedback and feel very … More Tutor Feedback
Apologies. I’m going to splice together my last two degree assignments into one post. I’m keen to get started on my next assignment but I seem Incapable of moving to Part Five without acknowledging Parts Three and Four. This first module has been exhausting. Getting used to studying again and time management have been big … More Recent Work
I’ve chosen to put a selection of work for assignment two into one post. Mostly because I want to save myself some hard work so I can crack on with new blog posts/Etsy work/assignment three. Christmas is over, the New Year is in full swing, and I feel the need to quickly clear the decks … More Assignment Two
