Virtual stitching

With visual arts students all over the country graduating in the next few months, there will soon be a wealth of new talent around. For artists, the first year out of education can be an exciting but difficult one. With a steep learning curve ahead, often it can seem like all the opportunities available are beyond reach.

This month, in Opportunities, there is plenty to help guide you into the world of the professional artist. Some opportunities are specifically aimed at new graduates and others are open to artists at all stages of their careers.

To introduce the section, Molly Tufnell talks about winning a prize for stitched textiles, that is open to textiles students and new graduates (see Awards for more information).
