In our final class today, we spent the time setting up for the end of year show and sale. The students attached their samples to large boards, grouped by technique, exercise and project. Everyone was impressed with the amount of work they produced over the 11 weeks. We were all pleased with how exciting all of their experimentation looked. The studio is just brimming with ideas with so much potential.
Here are some images of their final projects, as 'works in progress'. The assignment was to take a favourite image, abstract the main shapes and develop a design using to techniques worked in their personal analogous palettes. As you can see the results are spectacular. Each one so different and so strongly reflective of each student's artistic voice.
As is usual with fine arts textiles, the image doesn't do the work justice. So if you live anywhere near Victoria you will have to come to the college this Friday (April 1st, 7-10pm) or Saturday and Sunday (April 2nd & 3rd, 1:30-4pm) to be able to really enjoy all of the students' work. The whole college will have every surface covered with their work, including a new 3D installation in the front entrance by the 3D Design class, which is a 'must-see', fun work.

Hi Lesley
Not sure if it's sunspots or what, but none of the images from your last 3 posts are showing up at my end - nothing since the herb garden photos on March 23rd. I'm enjoying your blog very much - it is great to see what your students are doing, as well as your own work - even though seeing all the green outdoors & tender plants already set in the garden makes our piles of dirty snow even more depressing to look at. Oh well, it's been warmer the last couple of days and there are a few patches of grass peeking through, so there's hope!

Hi Anne, thanks for all of the feed back. Your spring will come. You have more reason to stay inside and stitch. My garden is calling me outside
