OYO press release...Textile Trends...

One year On Press release for April 2010.....Just a little feature.

One Year On!!!

I have been lucky enough to be selected for One Year On at new designers this year. Very big smiley face! I will be exhibiting in the second half (part 2) of the event...slightly more furniture based...and am currently working on all sorts of new things to show. Nothing outrageously different, don't get me wrong...but as my PGCE comes to a close..it's time to focus again a little more on my designs. PHEW. A friend of mine said...'you really don't no just how much you love design until you do a course with none in it!'-shocking. He also said some stuff that probably isn't so valid, but its about being able to see the diamond in the rough...

So anyway...New Designers... 8th-11th July....Business Design Centre!

"One Year On is a satellite event run as part of New Designers. It specifically presents around 40 selected designer-makers who are within one year of graduating or within one year of being in business.

One Year On is a very special part of the show and it differentiates itself from the main event by showcasing the work of a selected group of innovative, enthusiastic and creative makers who have recently started to produce and promote their creative practices. "

Workshops!

I have recently been running workshops in my local area for 8-11 year olds using different types of mark-making, printing and textile techniques. The learners work really hard and made some great results. They also ran rings around me, but it was great fun all the same!
