Victoria College of Art Christmas Show 2011
What a busy and exciting 3 days we have had in the textiles studio at the college.
On Thursday students turned up with rubber gloves and gave the studio a thorough clean.
On Friday morning they finished off their boards displaying their work and set up the studio.
Some members of the Mark Making Class of winter 2011 - me, Kati Akhavan, Sarah McLaren, Garland Fong, Esther Paterson.
College President Prof. Peter Such presented Jo Ann Allen with a Fine Arts Textiles Certificate.
The textiles program began November 2010 and Jo Ann is the first person to be awarded this certificate.

Progress With Red
The 3rd layer of needle weaving is finished. It is always a surprise when I take the work off the frame because I can see only sections of it while I work on it in the frame.
People often ask me, when they see this technique, 'how long did this take you?' So far this work has taken 29 hours - this includes 4 to develop the design, 1 1/2 cutting up thread, 1 hour setting up the frame. And there are still many more hours to go before it will be finished.
My colour palette is much depleted. I will have to replenish it before I begin the second in the series.

There is much excitement in the college this week as students have their last lesson for the term. They are finishing assignments, projects and art works in preparation for the Christmas Show when their works will fill every bit of space inside the college.
The Christmas Show will be on Friday December 16th from 7:00pm and Saturday December 17th, 1:00 - 4:30pm. On Saturday I will be demonstrating with my sewing machine and talking about the course I will teach in January - Mark Making With Machine.
