Viewing single post of blog University of Huddersfield

Over the past few days I have been installing work to become part of The Textile Crafts 2010 exhibition! Everybody has been working hard to produce a wide variety of work for the show and I cannot wait to see the outcome!

I have thoroughly enjoyed every second of installing my work and I am now excited yet apprehensive of family, friends and the general public to come a long and view my work. I have had positive feedback on places such as flickr but I feel the exhibition is the most significant key point to the course. I hope to gain inspiration for future projects via public comments.

It is fair to say I now feel a little lost and find the need to keep busy as working towards this degree has been quite intense. After reading articles in the an magazine I feel it is essential to focus on the next stage of development which will ultimately be promoting my work through blogging, websites and exhibitions. I know this will not be an easy task but it needs to be done.

My fear of leaving University is becoming complacent, I think it could be too easy to get stuck into a part time job which provides a consistent income. I need to find the right balance between work and textiles. I have already been applying for art based jobs and have been looking into competitions but already I have been rejected as 60 other people have also applied for the position. The employee wanted someone with more experience. I understand this, but I feel I have a lot of fresh ideas that could be as beneficial to the public as people who have more experience. Once I have moved home I intend on gaining as much experience as possible working with different sectors of the community teaching my skills, even if it is on a voluntary basis. The more experience I gain now, the easier it will be to become employed in the future.

The link below is my website I have been working on. It still needs work but any comments good or bad would be welcomed.
