Preparing all the work for assessment took
a long time and a lot of consideration. I wanted to show the progression from
the source image to the textile piece. I hope I managed to present my work
comprehensively. I am really proud to finish the course and I do hope for a
pass. Here are some of the boards I am sending for assessment:

Some final reflections:
- Sketchbook: Like many students
I was apprehensive about drawing in my sketchbook. I can draw and I used
to draw but overtime I stopped. I found myself frustrated a lot. Partly
because for textiles, I want to record more detail and my
skill level frustrated me. Partly because I didn’t have enough time and I
wanted to get things done quickly. However, drawing is like another skill. It
needs work and time put into it. You need to exercise your skill or you loose
it. Throughout the course I got more confident and dare I say a little better.
- Blog: My tutor advised me to
post often but shorter posts, which I completely agree.
- Time management: Time is short
for everyone but with two young kids I struggled at times. I came to
conclusion that I shouldn’t get stressed about what I cannot change. Instead I need
to focus on what I achieve despite all odds. I learned a great deal during this
course and learning more excites me. The more confident I get with the
techniques the quicker I will become.
- Networking: Distance learning can
be isolating. To combat that I need to network more. For the next course, I will make more effort
to engage more.
This will be my final post. I'd like to thank my tutor Rebecca Fairley. She has been very supportive. Now I look forward to my second course.
