I went to some amazing sessions about being an artist, and creativity. There were loads of interesting presenters and lots of intense debate between audience members. I was able to visit the Victoria and Albert Museum and wander for a few hours (which you need, the place is MASSIVE). Sunday there was a great film about Sylvia Pankhurst, and some semi-interesting debates about Urban Decay and Internships as modern day slavery. Friday night I also got to see my cousin Jamie DJ. Before I left on Monday I did a very quick walk around the Tate Modern before my train back to Nottingham. All in all a great weekend!
Yesterday I met up with my friend Giselle for some vintage shopping in Nottingham. Very good times! It's been so nice to connect with people and explore. Giselle is a fellow skydiver and a very lovely friend. :)
Today I attended a free workshop with the resident artist at the Lakeside Arts Centre on campus.
Nadim Chaudry
We learned some really interesting Japanese fabric manipulation/sculptural techniques, as well as some smocking techniques. I'm still finishing mine up so pictures will come soon.
Studying... ahhh I have two papers due in 13 days. I've picked subjects but not really started to get "stuck in" to my research and writing. We have a "reading week" next week with no official class meetings so I should have loads of time right?! I'm feeling very relaxed about school in general, perhaps I need to amp it up... We'll see. :p
Cheers!
