Day 2.. A useful lecture

Similarly as yesterday, in the morning again had an amazing big breakfast thanks to the lovely Patsy who runs the B&B.Then this morning got back into the studio for some more loosening body exercises and re-thinking of our specific, everyday ritual.... So i ended up choosing the motion of wiping my window when i get into the car.. from this we we asked to make something in relation to this movement. The concept has been slightly hard to understand considering i don't do garment making or make anything functional. But eventually i simply came up with a wiping tool which can be slid onto the hand and has cushioned parts to the pressure points of the hand which wipe the window.

It has been interesting to learn more about the body and thinking further into the shapes which it moves into, however i feel slightly uncomfortable creating a product rather than learning about the fabric and other uses of print design. So far we haven't yet been introduced to any lazer cutting, screen printing, heat pressing or embroidery techniques. I have felt similarly to what i felt in my old drama lessons - slightly pointless.

However at 1pm we had a lecture on new innovative materials and other printing materials. This on the other had was very useful and we all learnt things which will be very useful back home when carrying on with our uni projects. But they'll be no telling til the end of the year ... will be fun to see what i can come up with. Everyone else had some interesting things to come up with.. for example one girl made a pretty amazing dressing gown-like outfit... pretty see-through but it was to represent "just...hanging around" lol ... i haven't been in such hysterics like that for a long time! i just thought it was a brilliant way she said it.

Looking forward to tomorrow, hopefully they'll be some printing going on.
