New designers was definitely an eye opener! The place was just as amazing as last year if not better. I couldn't quite believe the competition i was going to be dealing with. Most of the work was stunning particularly the jewellery in "one year on"... if i had the money i would have bought it all!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My stand was nice and easy to put up as i only had 2 metres of wall to work with...</div>

Janice Webb who also studied with me at Farnham had a lot of attention particularly from the judges... we are all very excited to see where her work takes her in the future and if you get a chance to take a look at her work, I'm sure you'd agree with me that the colour and shape is just beautifully designed... <a href="https://twitter.com/janiceewebb">https://twitter.com/janiceewebb</a></div>

In all honesty, New designers probably wasn't the best experience for me professionally as i felt it was too commercial based. I didn't feel that i was getting the right attention to my work, however this has encouraged me to look for a variety of pathways to introduce my work to. It has been an exciting week, an exciting year too and am still excited to whatever the life in design may bring...</div>

We carried on to experiment with all the unwoven materials available and developed what we had produced into a fairly extravagant garment, inspiration of "Lady Gaga meets Cruella De Ville". Myself and Anthea chose to combine all of our knowledge of print and composition together using all of the new materials. Admittedly some days in the studio were quite long and tiring and we both got a bit snappy at times, but at the same time had a great experience and i would continue to go back to do the skills tours. After all design can't always be relaxing and easy, it would be quite boring it if that was the case.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everyone garments were all really different and interesting. We all used different materials, some strong and sturdy and other very elegant and light, others used techniques such as embroidery, or lazer cutting to produce simple and effective patterns...<br /><div>

All in all, think the show went really well and couldn't have looked better! Textiles was lucky this year to be put in the front foyer gallery of the university in order for people to notice our work a lot more when passing through as in the past, not many people knew where the studio was and so the shows would be quite well hidden. As you can see in the pictures the layout was carefully thought about and i was lucky to have my work put on its own plinth towards the front of the entrance. However i must add that it all seems left to the last minute to decide what was going where and was a little stressful - for the tutors mostly - but was slightly frustrating for us girls.... nevertheless it turned out to be a great show...</div>

It's been such a long time waiting around and wondering what is going to be put up where, but considering this is the first time Textiles at UCA Farnham is going to be set up in the foyer (before the James Hockey gallery, the overall set is looking good! But as the whole 3rd textiles course is taken up by girls you can imagine the tense atmosphere when things don't go their way!<br />
<br />
The show starts tomorrow at 5 and am looking forward to showing all our hard work off to the public finally.<br />

It seems to have been quite a long and tiring year but hopefully it'll all be work it.<br />
The resulting samples, i have put into a few visualizations which have come out fairly well...<br />

FMP Post 5 3 weeks until the final hand in and it's all over for the free life at university. Just handed in the final section of my dissertation, the 'critical reflection' which for me seemed harder than i thought, it really made me think about everything i was doing throughout the whole 3 years on this course. However, it really tested how much depth i could go into about my work. But 9000 words later in total the essay writing is finally over and done with.<br />
<br />
As for the practical work it's all beginning to be brought together. I find the garment shaping very exciting ...<br />

I have found it very important to think about the composition of the print determined by the shape and movement of the garment and working with the garment rather than producing the print and then struggling to fit it in with a garment shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So that a little sneak peak towards the final collection which i plan to produce 3 different but connecting garment suggested pieces. All of which will include a variety of print design based around this abstract and very chaotic nature.</div>

Plus it's simply the quickest way of producing an elegant figure with your own strong directed ideas.<br />
<br />

<br />
From these designs i felt it would be ideal to get to grips with the actual scale of the kind of garment i want to produce, which lead me to think about structure. Paper has always been a friend of mind and so now i'm going embrace it by helping me mimic sculptures on the body. Using a simple manikin even at first was quite tricky as paper doesn't exactly give you easy control over creating shape, but eventually i was able to assemble a composition that best fitted to shape for a fashion piece:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a development, I then had some of the compositions I had previously designed printed onto large scale paper to then test if the proportions were as expected or if any alterations needed to be added. This structure was slightly different simply because I have been testing out various positions which the pattern would sit in...</div>

Not all as fast as i need them to but as my dad always says "you can't rush a craftsman". I felt that i had to simply move on almost completely from the previous project as it felt like it just carried on for far too long considering i was already preparing for it during my placement way back in April. How i know that i do need to stick to some aspects of the previous project and so staying with the idea of collage and mark making was a good base to start with.<br />

From these i can now develop them further into small fashion illustrations. </div>

I have found Pinterest to be extremely helpful for finding designs in this particular category. Stephane Roland's work especially has been incredibly inspiring in the way the fashion sculptures are so well created...<br />

<span id="goog_1423527920"></span><span id="goog_1423527921"></span>I have been inspired to create designs for fabric which build their own structure and can take on many different forms. And So I have found two other textile designers who think about a similar aspect of adding on arranged structure to them be applied to new ones...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pwjxhP7LfFg/UwfKxm6xsYI/AAAAAAAABCI/9kLkRRRI12M/s1600/a15188_d60bd5b7844031c0dd718807fe0ee78d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pwjxhP7LfFg/UwfKxm6xsYI/AAAAAAAABCI/9kLkRRRI12M/s1600/a15188_d60bd5b7844031c0dd718807fe0ee78d.jpg" height="482" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Mika Barr is the designer of this wonderful piece of textiles. She has found an innovative way of using a simple triangle shape which is applied to the fabric using a strong puff binder paste which hardens to then allow the relaxed fabric to be able to move freely but only in the structured spaces available, allowing the fabric again to take on different forms when moved in different directions. Noticeably all the triangles are exactly the same shape and size which perhaps she signs of creating control to these forms.<br />
<br />
Much similarly with the "Wooden Carpet" created by Elisa Strozyk, she uses a pattern created up of many wood pieces which are of the same size and shape in a repeated pattern to produce again a sense of controlled manipulation to the fabric...<br />

However, dissertation is now complete which has taken a massive weight off my shoulders as i simply am not the best person for writing about something i'm not hugely passionate about. <br />
The reality is that the main priority in my life is my practice however a textiles degree does unfortunately come with its down sides, but in the end i found something fairly comfortable to write about... colour and 21st century fashion. The focus of my dissertation was to research the work of Josef Albers and to connect his work with fashion designers such as Roksanda Illincic, explaining how many fashion designers are beginning to be inspired by fine art of the late 90th and early 20th century. I found the designs quite boring and in terms of print design they were pretty dull in connection to my own designs, although for colour, these relationships are really inspiring...<br />
<br />

An so after finally handing that in i could then move on and focus on my FMP (Final Major Project) which was to be a follow up of the previous research project...<br />
<br />
So far my plan is to continue with sketchbook work which, this time round involves "destruction" rather than looking at "construction". I have kept in mind the theme of structure and manipulation combined with imagery, therefore have decided to use the photographs taken from the derelict school in Ronce for inspiration. There i found a lot of really interesting piles of rubble, broken glass, graffiti, and simply general destruction...<br />

Soon these photographs should hopefully turn into some interesting collage and drawings.Joanna Haywardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00788745132449596264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111195621678827375.post-56205040402636182912013-12-04T09:23:00.000-08:002013-12-04T10:56:41.143-08:00Research projectI have just finished my research project and am now moving into the final major project of my degree. I feel that my research project needed a lot more time for me to really get into depth with the printing side. I feel that i was able to clearly develop my sketchbook into developing printed samples.<br />
<div>
To sum up the overall idea of my project, i have incorporated architectural structure and imagery with my own collage interpretations. The aim of the research project was to not only gather up as much research on what art interests me but to also research what manipulation techniques and printing elements i can incorporate into my designs... and therefore what works well to further be developed into my final year collection.<br />
<br />
Here I have been using paper collages ...<br />

To then develop into large samples of printed fabric and i have included my visualization for how i would see them as fashion garments:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have mainly been using Pigment dicharging print pastes with hints of Procion prints. I have also used Myrabolan and rust printing elements in the 2nd piece (this can be found in UCA Work). This was to interpret a contrast between the architecture and the colour. My work has been inspired by Iris Van Herpen. Her structures have encouraged me to reinvent the detailed on the print and to urge the eye to travel around the piece with so many different details to look at.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This part of the project however is only the beginning to my final major project. and so i will be developing this idea further up until may. So i haven't got very long to sort out all my ideas and get my new sketchbook up and running.</div>

A weekend of working relaxing as much as i could before posting the final blog on Belgium...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What did i think of the trip in a few words?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Interesting... Having the one lecture on new materials was probably the best part of the trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fun... I had the chance to meet a select group of people from around Europe, which all had their individual qualities and each one of them were brilliant at what they do. Some really funny and others simply really cool new people to talk to. It's not every day you get the chance to go to Belgium for free and realize there more to textiles than just 2D printing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unsatisfied?... As much i really appreciated the opportunity , and again met some awesome people. I really feel like i didn't learn a lot. On the application it stated that i would be learning skills such as embroidery, laser cutting, heat press and other technologies. We were simply shown for about half an hour, all the really basic application. Whre as i thought we would be getting long intense classes on how to use them at a higher level - not performing a movement class and making myself feel slightly uncomfortable infront of so many strangers. I feel i would have benefited from seeing these skills used on a professional level - more examples when used in industry- rather than "GCSE" level tools. At this stage of my degree i feel that i needed to be learning more about the 2D application rather than flipping my ideas very quickly into a 3D product design which i have near to no experience about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although i did learn one important thing, that its never a bad thing to try new things, if i learnt something or nothing, it's an experience worth doing. At least now i know that i don't particularly want to go into product design or art choreography.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the last couple of days, i felt i need to get back into doing what i know best and incorporating Screen print into our futurist product, I was able to incorporate using the Thermochromic Ink into an image. We all agreed that our garment was to enhance the feeling of intimidation and creepiness into the image hence why i came up with this creepy looking mouth to be where the mouth would be. The idea was that when the person would breathe heavily, the colours of the image would change and go brighter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The final product was made, and we were asked to make a presentation which part was also film by the local news, which was quite nerve racking. The final product had element of myself, Elliot (fashion student) and Charlotte (weave student). We all put our spin on "making"...</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway , today was slightly more motivating. We were introduced to a new teacher who works with the company Phillips. She has both a fashion and technical background and was intrigued to listen to what products we had come up with yesterday. We were then put into groups of 3 to combine all of our ideas and work with our specialisms. I was in a group with a weaver and a fashion designer, quite interesting and good to find out more about different professions and ideas. We also had small workshops, i learnt how to use the laser cutter which of course will come in very handy when back in the studio, and i was simply told were they kept all the screen printing equipment... hopefully will be using this tomorrow, and of course be in my element!...<br />
<br />
Anyway here was the product we eventually came up with, to emphasize big hoodies and large shoulder movements...<br />

I'll let you do the judging....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Later in the evening we were able to leave a little earlier to have a relaxing evening and just have a good chit chat. Elliot had drawn me a really cool graffiti piece :) whilst the girls chilled out watching a good bit of monsters university.</div>
<br /></div>

Bed time already, this week is already flying by and only one full day left and leaving at 12 on friday :( ... so we're all guessing lots of work tomorrow ready for a presentation on friday morning.</div>
Joanna Haywardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00788745132449596264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111195621678827375.post-77971177610917193302013-11-26T12:40:00.001-08:002013-11-26T12:40:04.068-08:00Day 2.. A useful lecture <div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking forward to tomorrow, hopefully they'll be some printing going on. </div>

Suddenly i'm in Belgium !... Well the opportunity was mentioned by our technician at uni with an application for a completely free experience to go to Belgium and do a skills tour. Run by CrysaLis (the same organisation run in Calais who created the exhibition of Iris Van Herpen, the Skills tour is a 5 day workshop experience new textiles techniques including lazer cutting, Silk screen printing, weaving, electronic fabrics, heat press and more! The whole journey completely free (food, accommodation and travel) all they would like in return is a report about the experience hence why i'm writing up about my journey here :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Day 1:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am so very lucky to have been given this opportunity as it definitely does not get given out every day. It all very exciting so far, the B&B couldn't be more lovely, my own room with an bathroom and breakfast made for me ready in the morning (could definitely get used to this!). Got up and ready for the introduction for 10am and met the other students. A mixture from Plymouth, Farnham and Belgium. the first exercise was all about the body and movement. We were asked to all be in one large room and simply be free with our own body and get to know it using all movements that feel natural. We experimented with also musical movements weight interaction and space to interact with other people but also to be aware of our own feelings. From their we then had to come up with a movement of a particular part of the body and then go outside or around the studio and fine objects to make a relating form for that particular body movement. Anthea created a movement which originated from the finger tips and wrist moving and so created this which i have cleverly modelled for her:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Mb5pxaXntnk/UpN-49RDihI/AAAAAAAAA4w/GyoCNBqOVuk/s1600/20131125_170151.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" height="320" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Mb5pxaXntnk/UpN-49RDihI/AAAAAAAAA4w/GyoCNBqOVuk/s320/20131125_170151.jpg" width="180" /> </a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
i on the other hand created this in relation to the structure of the head, upper arm, elbow movement and lower arm (sticks i think were the best thing i could find in half an hour) and then a load of elastic to demonstrate the constriction of the arm movement and also interpreting a firm locking motion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kdM39oPWtEo/UpN-5yy0wzI/AAAAAAAAA44/8dBbQVLGHDI/s1600/20131125_170211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kdM39oPWtEo/UpN-5yy0wzI/AAAAAAAAA44/8dBbQVLGHDI/s320/20131125_170211.jpg" width="180" /></a><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It's all quite interesting how our teacher has a history of dance and brings movement into her designs. Later on we will be thinking about everyday movements and then interpreting those into designs and will then start the making part of the course!</div>

Thursday i took a nice trip over to Calais to see the amazing exhibition by the great 3D fashion designer Iris Van Herpen. The exhibition is currently showing at Cite Internatonale de la dentelle et de la mode de Calais. Her work is stunning. She creates some of the most remarkable 3D sculptural Fashion garments. Her work involves ideas from everyday circumstances and unique materials and transforms them to take on the body's shape.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would absolutely recommend going if you can afford the trip to Calais, obviously they look amazing in the photos but seeing actually up close, and really being able to appreciate the craftsmanship of these pieces and see them in all angles.</div>

Also in the same museum currently showing an awesome exhibition 'Lace Effects 1'. Exhibiting are some brilliant designers from all over England and France plus some exclusive work of students from UCA campuses - WELL WORK SEEING!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sunday the 3rd of November will be the first exhibition i will be participating in which will be held at the Farnham Maltings, along with my fellow 3rd year girls. Our work includes 2nd year level textiles both print and weave specialists. I will be showing 5 pieces in the show and looking forward to people coming to see it. I'm not sure yet how much it is to get into the exhibition but will be posting more towards the time. There will also be other artists and textile designers holding stands of their work to both sell and show. Looking forward to it!.. The future is only just </span>beginning<span style="font-family: inherit;"> for the 3rd years :)....For more info follow the link bellow:</span></div>

I can't believe i have only just heard about this app to help me with bibliographies!... I would definitely recommend it to anyone who struggles with referencing. This free app literally does it all for you in 3 seconds! All you have to do is hover your camera over the bar-code on a book and the app will simply load in a couple of seconds and as if by magic all the information you need comes up, including the title, author, place, publisher and date. genius! ... and no its not cheating... just saving you so much time!... plus it really helps if say you're in a book shop and want the reference quick this is all you have to do ! :) being a student i would like to thank the designer of this app very very much its so nice and simple.</div>

Pinning most of my work up in front of me always helps to try and keep my mind flowing and link things up to what I've already done.</div>
