I basically lived my final major project. My goal as always was to 'do the very best I can' (without sounding like a Brownie). Of course I got through it and knowing I had tried my best was comforting.<br />
<br />
The very next morning I woke up and immediately felt lost. My mind was still switched on and I felt it was important to take a step back and recover. However, I like keeping busy therefore taking this step back wasn't so easy. I remember walking into the centre of Bath and returning home with paint and a sketchbook. I just couldn't help myself!<br />
<br />
Last week I was fortunate to have been selected to show my work at <a href="http://www.newdesigners.com/">New Designers</a>. This is a show specifically for the most talented design graduates. For this reason I was pinching myself. I thoroughly enjoyed the show but it was hard work. It involved lots of standing around but this didn't matter to me because I was there, instead of someone else and I didn't want to miss anything or anyone.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAZ4sbHV28qjqXGzG1TbBWHdKRwT87jOhGc7TF720g7tMt3usPhJzClWfXogkk28208jznMv5JmPk4bchasNIE8yCWCcFDeZ7TX_BaYO3Glk1FzkoHk2K46ZtnoH3rpoWPm-W-4t_eQQ/s454/AprilSharmanb1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAZ4sbHV28qjqXGzG1TbBWHdKRwT87jOhGc7TF720g7tMt3usPhJzClWfXogkk28208jznMv5JmPk4bchasNIE8yCWCcFDeZ7TX_BaYO3Glk1FzkoHk2K46ZtnoH3rpoWPm-W-4t_eQQ/s400/AprilSharmanb1.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
At this point I am assessing the experience and unfortunately I didn't feel confident about the work that was selected to go on the stand. This made the experience less enjoyable and I would have liked to have been able to make this decision myself. The work on the stand was described as brave and bold but I didn't feel like it was a great representation of all the skills I have developed. My other work included a selection of boards that I had stitched into and demonstrated a repeat pattern although these were described as unresolved. For this reason I would really like to show my work myself.<br />
<br />

<br />
I don't want to spend my time worrying about somebody copying my work or receiving negative feedback (all feedback is good feedback). The fact is design is subjective and detaching yourself from your work is hard when making is so personal, but I feel like I don't want to keep my work to myself. I want to share my ideas. They're no good packaged up in the loft and any suggestions would be much appreciated.<br />

This week I showed my work at <a href="http://www.newdesigners.com/page.cfm/ID=1">New Designers</a>. This is such an exciting time for me and a great stepping stone into the real world. The great thing was I got to share this opportunity with lots of my friends as there were 25 of us on the stand representing Bath School of Art and Design. I was prepared with my portfolio and feel that I managed to make the most of this brilliant opportunity. Getting your work 'out there' is scary but exciting and I think my first year will be difficult but I'm ready to accept the challenge!</div>

We have created a site showing snippets of work by the textiles graduates of 2013 from Bath School of Art and Design to include my profile <a href="http://bsadtextiles2013.wordpress.com/april-sharman/">here</a>. The show is a reflection of all that I have achieved throughout my three years at university but also a chapter to hopefully mark the beginning of my career in the textiles industry. <a href="http://gavinturk.com/">Gavin Turk</a> and <a href="http://www.cedricchristie.com/CedricChristie/Home.html">Cedric Christie</a> gave really inspiring talks at the industry night, which has enabled me to feel proud of myself and everyone else in my year.<br />

My show consists of a mixture of materials that I have managed to have my designs printed onto, this includes wood, plastic and glass. I have had the materials cnc routed to enable me to stitch into them and laser etched. All these applications match up perfectly with my prints. <br />

It has been so sunny today, I decided to do some painting in the garden. I love our wild garden and my painting is rather wild too! (Well it's not really my garden, it belongs to the little flat my boyfriend rents, this is why it's so wild!) It has however enabled me to start a sketchbook filled with paint drips and brush marks and mixtures of colour. I usually have to tone bits down when I transform my paintings into digital prints. </div>

Today we handed in our final major projects. I am celebrating with the girls this evening and we excitedly popped champagne this morning. I walked around the city of Bath with an ice cream, like a tourist and whatever happens I feel happy knowing I tried my best. Who knows what will happen?! I would love to join a studio and to continue designing prints. But for this evening I will let my hair down...</div>

I have less than two weeks left at university and I will be moving all my belongings out of the studio tomorrow morning. I have bagged everything up ready to go but I have no idea where I will fit it all. My space has lost it's personality and all that's left is my name tag. I will miss the creative environment at Bath School of Art and Design. I have really appreciated my time there as a student. I noticed these textiles pieces in the reception area and thought they looked really pretty hanging from the ceiling and grouped together like a family. </div>

Last week I worked on narrowing down the prints I have designed to create a collection. This collection will be based around mark making. It is important I can demonstrate lovely colour, a range of techniques, varied scales and I will also print the designs onto different fabrics. Our digital print deadline is at the end of this week. Time has flown by and we only have 4 weeks left all together. At times I feel fine and under control and then I'll have a random panic in my head! </div>

I felt like the colours were letting them down and as a result my mark making was loosing its strength. I also found the complexity of each design meant I was able to extract several designs from one. I have really enjoyed this process of simplifying and although adjusting the colours can take a long time, I am finding the appeal of this latest collection worth while.<br />

I turned some of the designs into a very dark aubergine colour and the rest into a very neutral palette. This week I will be looking at materials to print onto.<br />

Today I spent some time adjusting the colours of my prints to match a specific colour palette. This took a while, I mostly used the colour reduction tool on photoshop. Now I feel confident I can change the feel of my designs simply by altering the colour. Designs can also be dramatically changed by changing the scale. <a href="http://color-collective.blogspot.co.uk/">Colour Collective</a> is a good source for selected colourways to work from.</div>

Yesterday I travelled back to Bath. On Monday I will resume work again after the easter break. I met up with my wonderful boyfriend in Reading on my way to do a spot of shopping. I had never been before and so it felt quite spontaneous. Matt bought me some funky printed trousers from one of my favourite shops called <a href="http://shop.mango.com/preHome.faces">Mango</a> followed by dinner. I also got a dress and some shoes courtesy of my mum for a birthday treat as I'm going to a wedding today. This week I had a break from textiles but this didn't stop me from painting. I enjoyed being creative without having the pressure of making a so called masterpiece, as well as trying to work out how the design could potentially repeat across a length of fabric.</div>

Yesterday I went riding and I fell off my horse which wasn't so great, but I also went for a walk in the woods with my dad. We took the dogs which was nice and I took my camera with me. I practiced taking some action shots and I was pleased with the results. Let me introduce you to the pack...<br />

I recently went to a fabulous exhibition at the <a href="http://ftmlondon.org/">Fashion and Textile museum</a>. I was lured in by the beautiful colours used to advertise the displays. The exhibition celebrates Kaffe Fassett's career in textiles, which has spanned an incredible 50 years. </div>

There are examples of his influence in quilting, knitting, needlepoint and mosaic and all of these categories are linked together via Kaffe's extraordinary use of colour.<br />

I stopped by in London yesterday on my way home for Easter break. I went to the <a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/">British Museum</a> as I was keen to see the African Textiles. There is currently a free exhibition displaying printed cloth (Kanga). In Africa men sometimes dress in the same pattern of cloth as women to show unity and friendship. I think this is a fun idea but the colours and patterns of textiles also communicate other important information such as belief and social status to include inscriptions that often link to the choice of pattern.</div>

The Kanga design consists of a continuous border with a central image; a development from sewing together printed handkerchiefs. The cotton and wool Kanga on display had been printed by hand using stencils or hand stamped with carved wooden blocks. I found this exhibition really interesting and felt the display had been thoughtfully chosen. This has given me lots of inspiration for my next collection as I am hopeful I will have time to squeeze in one more before the degree show! </div>

I have managed to develop a technique that has allowed me to print my designs onto wood without it warping which is great. I have also introduced other methods to include vinyl, painted flock (above) and puff binder (below).<br />

I always find thumbnails are a quick and easy way to put my ideas down to translate my drawings into designs. However just lately I have preferred the thumbnails themselves and have been putting them into fun, ditzy repeats. Although there is always the threat of the design becoming too rigid, so it is important to bare this in mind. Here are a few of late:</div>

These designs are free and the geometrics shapes are less orderly. Next week I will scan them into the computer and begin to turn them into repeats and I will include the existing designs but use them to create a boarder across the bottom or through the middle.<br />

My dear friend came to visit me last week and I met her for lunch at <a href="http://beasvintagetearooms.com/">Beas Vintage Tea Rooms</a>, just around the corner from my flat. It was a delightful place for a catch up. The beautiful hanging lights in the window had caught my eye too many times before and so this time I was determined to stop by. There are many beautiful objects here to include the embroidered table cloths and the dainty china tea sets. I also had Welsh Rarebit for the first time and it was delicious and I somehow managed to resist the homemade cakes on offer. Meanwhile I have been painting and returning to an abstract them to add some jazz to my print designs as they are currently looking too rigid.<br />

This week at university I had my mid project review and it went well but I wont get the written feedback until next week.<br />
<br />
I also went to a useful talk by hand weaver <a href="http://www.kfrasertextiles.com/">Katherine Fraser</a>, she creates modern fabrics with traditional looms and has a shop/studio set up in Bath. She told us we should find a way to keep doing after we leave university and with this in mind I will find a way to keep printing, even with basic equipment it is best to do what you can with what you have.<br />

My dream is to work for a print studio, I would love to challenge myself designing collections of prints and it would be great to be able to work with other interesting, creative people. I am afraid of feeling isolated after I graduate. I am always walking around the studios at university and seeing what everyone else is up to and I will really miss this when I leave.<br />
