Scary, But So So Exciting!

After finishing university, a whirlwind of a week at New Designers and finally being able to say I have graduated, things are starting to feel very real!

After being accepted to two exhibitions, I need to get making again!
So, if you want to come and see my work in the flesh, here's some info for you..

My work is at Wirksworth Festival 2012: 7-23 September

Great Art in unexpected places
Art & Architecture Trails Weekend :  Over 150 artists exhibiting in every conceivable place 8-9 Sept. 
Contemporary Visual  Art:  Inspiring work by leading international and UK artists over 3 weekends. 
Performance, Participation and Celebration:  Two packed weeks of  exciting events culminating in a spectacular finale on 23 Sept.  

Alongside this, I will also be at 'Handmade in Britain'.

Trick Of The Eye..

I was pleased to see peoples reaction to my paper vessels at the recent New Designers exhibition.
The words 'is that paper' were overheard several times, and people just had to pick them up to check.
Exactly the response I wanted, so 'Thank You' to everybody that left such lovely feedback on my work... It really makes me want to persevere to keep making!

Here's some more images, as promised.

A huge 'Thank You' to my big brother for helping me with the editing of my piccies... I need a little more practice, I think!

New Designer!

New Designers is over, and I'm so so jealous of week 2 being there right now!
It was a brilliant week, speaking to some really exciting people and hearing lots of lovely comments.
The lovely Dec Art girls made it a lovely few days..
Just trying to catch up on a little bit of admin work now, e-mailing some great galleries, so fingers crossed!!!

3 Is A Magic Number!

3 exciting years at uni are over (kind of) and finally, 3 exciting prospects are on the horizon.
Graduating with a 2:1, New Designers in a week, and the exciting possibility of stocking this wonderful website http://www.designedinengland.co.uk/... 3 is a magic number!!!

I'm back in the studio, beavering away until I get chucked out... and then it's time to venture out into the big, bad world!

Degree Show's Up, Up, Up and Away!

After many hours of hard work, the degree show's finally up, open and ready for business.
Come and take a look... there are lots of lovely things to see!!!

                                          Porcelain Postcard Vessels

                                                           Porcelain Postcards

New Arrivals!

After much deliberation on business cards, Moo won me over... and broke my piggy banks heart!
Money well spent, though, i'd say... I love, Love, Love 'em!

Sketchy Night In...

With the deadline of 9 am. tomorrow morning, creeping up on me, a little bit of last minute drawing for my CV... It's gonna be a long long night!
