28th October Tutorial

I felt a little nervous about this tutorial as I wasn't please with the amount of work I had produced. And to make things worse, Fiona started talking about the amount of work we should be doing each week. Although I had enjoyed researching pattern over the last week, it threw me a little and it took a few days to get into it. I began working with clay by the end of the week as I wanted to start experimenting with materials, but compared to the pace I had been working in previous weeks, I felt disappointed with what I had produced. But Fiona reassured me that not all weeks will be the same, and I had clearly done a lot of thinking with regard to pattern and routine, which is all part of the process. The group seamed to like my arrangements with the clay pieces and the idea of wrapping. I mentioned my uncertainty about what materials to work with and Fiona reminded me of the wires I had been using in my stitch research. So we talked about using 'Industrial' materials to experiment with. I really like this idea as I am interested in using more unconventional materials.
