University of Derby Degree Show Preview Night 2010

I was ready to see all of the work being produced by the third years of my course and their exhibition was absolutely amazing. I loved the Textiles exhibition because it was my course after all. It was an unforgettable experience because it was so much people and I had some familiar faces of university, college and even secondary school people too. I was absolute shock and it was a big surprise. I had a good chat with my third year classmates with their work and congratulate them with their work especially the woven and the menswear garments such as cardigans. I couldn't take photos on the nght 2because it was a big event and being surrounded by everyone in the building. Also, I met some new people that it was absolutely nice and got people talking too. I have not seen Sarah that she has done her final year of Crafts specialising of Ceramics and her work was good.

I had a look at some of my friends' work and the displays looked amazing! Here, I have picked some of my favourite ones and also relates to my work especially with menswear for my exhibition for next year.

 Cheryl Young's fabrics

She picked some lovely smooth polyester and done digital printing onto paper (disperse dyes) and print it herself. Fashion Print fabrics for women's dresses. I think that it is a strong piece and also an excellent variety of colours and images of her samples.

 Charlotte Sanderson Final Show
"Knitted Menswear"

Charlotte's knitted work for menswear and I can see it for All Saints. I really love of how she made the whole garment out and I think that she is brilliant. That is what I want to do for my final exhibition to proudce my own garments and own collection wise!

I also met Gillian Wills of who is a felt jewellery artist, she was fantastic, done some bracelets and some necklaces too! I was so impressed with her work and I would like her to teach me or 2 with felt-making. It has been a very long time since I done it with college, with Jane Chapman and Georgina Rodgers.
