At Home and Tax Return

So far this week:

 On Monday I was at Uni to speak to Sheila the technician in the weave/knitting room.
As you know I've recently bought a loom and I'm not sure its warped up properly. I had quite a few questions for her and she spent time with me and didn't roll her eyes at some of my questions.

 On Tuesday I was in for a tutorial regarding my research strategy project and in the afternoon we had a lecture by one of our lecturers regarding her work.

 Wednesday, today, I stayed at home. I taught Pilates in the morning and then got going with my printing, see the pictures below. I've also included what I think is one of my best ideas - taking fashion illustrations - cutting away the clothes then laying them over my designs. 

 I also post my work on Instagram under Karren Meggitt if you want to have a look.

 Last year I thought it was a good idea to go in everyday to Uni, but now on reflection I can get lots more work done at home. I'm just ever watchful that if I have some work on the floor that the dog doesn't come in and walk all over it.

Half Term

Image
So this week its half term for schools and I've taken the week off from teaching all my fitness classes so I can concentrate on my MA and really make a dent in printing and sewing my designs for the final fashion show. Deadline is 4th July - 5 weeks today! Below are some pictures of some of the prints done and trousers made. I'm in early today to try and fit my trousers, hopefully to me. Last week I started on my MA report which we have to write as part of the course, 2500 words on our MA experience related back to our personal statement. Right, time to go, just got to drink my coffee first!

Last week, ish

Image
Hand in was last week, 4th July. It was a bit anti-climactic if I'm honest. I thought there might be some fizz in the vicinity, but no, not a bad thing really because I was teaching in the evening. Went to the Uni bar with a fellow MA student, and had a pint of lime and soda, oh how times have changed! Today, I was at Uni setting up my static show, see below. I've kept it simple, some hooks to display my clothes and two dummies. There are only 8 of us displaying work though, I think it would've looked a lot better if all students were made to display, but I guess its either the fashion show or the static show for most people, for me I'm doing both. The fashion show is on Thursday, rehearsals are tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. The more we practice, the better the show on the night. We have external examiners tomorrow and my final Viva is next Tuesday and that will be it, eek!

What BCU could improve on - honest feedback from students

As student liaison officer for BCU I emailed my fellow students after the course had finished to get their honest feedback without fear of their marks being affected (silly I know, but you do think about it). We did feedback electronically a few months ago, but a lot happened in the last few months too. The point made may have been expanded on to ensure the reader had a better understanding.  Lectures starting late, either because of technical issues or lecturers arriving late. No need to walk to Margaret Street (15-20 minute walk from Parkside campus) – although I understand there maybe an issue with space at Parkside someone commented that walking to Margaret Street took out an afternoon and on reflection at the end of the course this was time wasted. Not being able to use studio space due to BA timetabling. We had Friday allocated to us, not great if you are working or unable to attend on Fridays. Not being offered to share demonstrations of how things work in the stud...
