14th February 2014 - Bradford Boards.

Today's taught session was based on the designing of our boards for the Bradford textile competitions. For our entry into this set of competitions, we are required to present two A2 boards; one with our drawings and experimentations and another with the final sample and its proposed use, in response to the competition details.


The workshop was really useful because the tutor came around and spoke to each of us individually about our entries for the competitions and how we could perhaps improve them. Most importantly the tutor helped us with the presentation of our boards, VERY HELPFUL. You might have thought that presenting drawings and images on boards is easy, but I have definitely learnt that there is an art to it.

The tutor helped us to present our boards in a way which made full use of our work, but was clear and very professional. This apparently makes a very good impression with the judges of the society's competitions.

I was really pleased with what I had created at the end of the session. Especially after yesterday, this boosted my mood and I feel more confident about the project and how it is developing. I have now decided that shall plan the Bradford boards in detail now, so after the project I can create my final knitted piece, more info to follow, and make any amendments that I need.
