Uni Life: First day at my new Placement

I have been talking to people at Hillsborough college (as my mum works there) and I decided to ask and see if I could do a voluntary placement there and they agreed so I decided to do Arts and Crafts with them and this week I did Batik with the students. 

I got to do my own with one of the students so I draw the wax on the fabric and just did a pattern the whole way across. 

(Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of it before we painted it) 

Then Greg (One of the students) ask if he could help me with the ink painting on top of the wax.

(This is me and greg painting with the ink) 

This is the final outcome me and greg achieved. 

 I really enjoyed doing this lesson with them and really look forward to next week. 

I was asked by the tutor if in the future I would like to do a lesson and plan it out and do some activity with them, I'm really looking forward to the future with the class. 

Uni Life: Fabric Flower Making

I took inspiration from these flowers. 

And decided to try and make something similar with fabric.

Here is what I used... 

Some background fabric.

Three different sizes of petals cut out of fabric.

A glue gun. 

And the last thins is different fabrics and scissors. 

This is what I started with and decided to stick with this cream fabric. Then I just carried on with the flower by gluing petals  on top of each other and build them up. 

So this is what I finished with and I really like the outcome of the process. At the end I decided it needed something more so I then stitched the sequins on. 

To evaluate... I really like this processes and want to try some more and do more projects Like this.
