A very long day....

Today was a long one, beginning with having to do a show and tell to the rest of the teaching staff about blogging - fortunately I know a little (!) about this so it wasn't too terrible, but going first was rubbish and listening to subsequent presentations from my colleagues made me realise how much I didn't/forgot to say - ah well!

This afternoon and way into the evening (I got home at ten to ten this evening) saw Mark and I doing our annual allocation of spaces - a labour intensive process which takes FOREVER! I am quite pleased with what my lot have got this year, but there will always be someone who feels sad about what they are given! If you are reading this guys, be positive and trust that I will have a plan!

So who's got what? Well they will all know tomorrow........


And just in case you thought for one minute that we didn't take this task very seriously, Mark even put on his sensible glasses......!


And Chris and Roy were very patient with us!

The beginning of the end and all the chaos in between

We are heading towards show time now - it will be fashion show rehearsals next week and then the hanging of shows the following week - so now the painting and cleaning is in full swing. I am very proud of my gang, they have worked tirelessly on the whole this week, and have firmly confirmed that if you are a fashion or a textiles bunny you have a strong working ethic and genuinely care about the environment you work in - unlike their good for nothing photography and graphics friends..... So from me to you F&T  - THANK YOU, YOU ARE TRULY FAB.

We have also had all our final crits now and the work this year - like all the other years in textiles - is brilliant - a very clever bunch indeed - here they all are - except for Rachel A who we didn't manage to squeeze in to the 5 1/2 hours - sorry Rach - we'll make it up to you....

Here's what's has been happening since......

3D started their installations

Faith is shrinking

Lauren's moving into fashion..

Pip's going viral......

and getting distressed

A ton of white emulsion arrived

The studios got cleared

We got rid of all the rubbish....

The girls and boys got painting


sometimes....

They remained cheery

Hugo did do something - here's the proof...

Everyone has taken things very seriously...

Chloe was still cheery

And these started appearing everywhere.....




More to come.....
