In August 2011 I enrolled in Textiles 1: A Creative Approach in the Open College of the Arts. If I work through all the required courses it could, in 7 years or so, be part of a BA Hons Textiles degree. That’s looking way too far ahead!
Keeping a learning log is a course requirement, and my existing blog has expanded to accommodate that.

Judy,
I think you have been in contact with Liz Barraclough regarding the study visit to the Whitworth exhibition. If you would like me to send you the educators’ resource pack and the briefing notes for the visit, I am happy to do so if you let me have your email address.
Kind regards,
Liz Smith
