The competition is on !

In our last post we talked about a live competition with a company called FAD www.fad.org.uk which our course is entering. There will only be 3 entry's from our course which must be collaboration, i.e promoter and designer or textile and designer.
when the project was explained to us it was very clear that the brief entailed a lot of experimenting with the fabric, so this is where our lecture thought i would be a good opportunitie to collaborate with the second year BA textile from the Arts University College of Bournemouth. They where going to arrange a day where we can get together and discus who out of the textile class wanted to collaborate and who didn't, as well as seeing there work and if it would fit in with what we had in mind. keep a look out for post on how this went.
