Module 1 completed

 Well at least I hope it is and that it doesn't come winging it's way 

back to me for more work.

Anyway  here are a couple of the designs I have come up with.

This one is from a picture by Edward Bawden

called Home Sweet Home.

If you've never seen his work have a look.I love it.

There are 2 exhibitions of his work on at the moment.

One is in the Dulwich Picture Gallery, South London and

the second one is in The Fry Gallery in 

Saffron Waldron, Essex which is the one I went to see last week.

I would love to show you the pictures these came from

but I'm not sure how I stand with copyright on here.

Anyway this was done but carving out my own stamp.

This design is taken from a Mural that Bawden did in 

the 1950's for a new building in London.

This is a watercolour I did in Cornwall from

the sculptures of Barbara Hepworth. 

So keep your fingers crossed that I pass this OK and can

move on to the next module.

Barbara Hepworth

Another Alumni of RCA is Barbara Hepworth who I first really discovered 

when I did my level 3 C&G. I love some of her work.  

I went to St.Ives in Cornwall where her garden is now

a museum and part of the TATE St.Ives.

It's a lovely place to escape the crowds in the rest of St Ives.

Here we go.

Module 1, Level 4 City & Guilds Diploma of Patchwork and Quilting .

Having finished and passed my level 3 certificate in the same subject at Christmas

I have taken the bold, and quite frankly, scary step of going one step higher.

I'm doing it online with School of Stitched Textiles and Module one 

starts with a Self Chosen Design Project.

I have chosen Royal College of Art Alumni.

Research has started with a trip to the Sainsbury Art Centre in Norwich

which has a collection of works by Henry Moore.

They also have a couple of fabulous cafes which is always 

high on the priority list wherever we go. 

A walk around the sculpture trail set in the beautiful grounds of the 

University of East Anglia and it's award winning architecture

gave us our appetite for lunch.

    

Two of the Henry Moore sculptures both

reclining figures which are a recurring theme.

Anthony Gormley figures overlooking the campus.

Could give you a real fright if you didn't know they where there.

Back Soon.
