Private View at Woodhouse and Law

We had a marvellous time last evening at the Woodhouse and Law/Bath School of Art collaboration.

The opening of the textile show, featuring the work of six soon to graduate students, was fabulously received.
Nick and John were generous hosts and made everyone feel most welcome and relaxed.The wine flowed and contacts and ‘friends of textiles’ developed.

Thank you too to Penny Hopkins for ensuring the evening ran smoothly and that the conversation was stimulating and engaging.

The show is on for another two weeks.

If you miss this then come along to the School of Art to see all the departments degree shows.It’s an event not to miss.

On display

and contributing to the feel good factor.
The work of the 1st years students made during their print and embroidery module.The work enhances the walls along the corridors in the department and inspires others to try new ideas and techniques.
Soon this will be replaced by the beautiful outcomes from their constructed module and these samples will give way to the work of the 3rd years as they conclude their degree.
Exciting times ahead.

Into Waitrose we go

From next week 3rd yr student Sarah Fennel’s work will be showing in Waitrose, Bath.
This will be the first of a hopefully long and happy partnership where carefully selected students will take turns to feature their exquisite textile work.
For all to see,in a prime spot before you enter the cafe, Sarah’s work will take pride of place.
