Pre Tutorial Thoughts :

* clarification on the above : continue to work with your chosen theme but with all potential career paths in mind , keep things open and be open to unexpected contexts or developments 

During Tutorial Notes :

Post Tutorial Thinking / Actions :

References to explore: 

- Reiko Sudo (textile designer) specifically her rubber resin & surface print  

- Workers for freedom (fashion company) run by Graham Fraser & Richard Knot - similar aesthetic & colour palette

- Psychiatric hospitals (visual connotation in padded stitch samples) 

- Underfloor heating - the piping / black and copper colour palette 

- Zoe Laughlin (uses interesting materials within the art world) 

- Material Driven 

- Materials Library & Institute of Making 

- Helix Centre (interesting themes surrounding community and the arts) 

Ideas for Development: 

- Don't discount form and its relation to the body , explore it a little 

- Spend some time thinking about how to wind that written element into TPP1 

- Spend some time thinking about the senses / creating an all encompassing experience - aroma textiles > test using essential oils within your work, what is the result? 

Other actions: 

- Book in to talk with Diana Harrison (practitioner in stitch, quilting and art outcomes) 

- After Christmas book in to speak with Lesley Millar 

- Look into the Textile Society, they have competitions which aware postgrad bursaries (Linda Brassington is a judge) (PP)

- Look into the Quilters Guild too (PP)
