Plym Uni Degree Show - Media, Photography and 3D Design

Before going to invigilate yesterday I went and had a look round a couple of the other degree shows and took some photos of things I liked! Here is a little preview of some of the work of Media Arts, Photography and 3D design students!








3D design had a printer by the entrance which was printing out the letters 3D for people to take away with them!








Loved all the designer maker products especially these lights! I didn't have time to write down whose work was whose but if you know the artists do comment and let me know and I will credit people. 

Will be adding more work over the course of this week! Degree show open 10-5 until 26th June.

Degree Show Prep and Private View

So I had my final assessment just over a week ago and since then I have been doing a lot of eating, drinking, being lazy, and also freaking out about the fact that actually I still had things to do to finish off my degree show walls...

We were locked out of the studio until thursday afternoon when everyone came in and started to hang all of their final work. I had cards to print and glitter up (never thought putting glitter on cards would be stressful - I was wrong...). I also had to iron some more wrapping paper and finish labelling many things for the pop up shop.

Got some photos of people's work going up:






Ben and Joe making a playlist and disliking me with my camera...


Andjela's  zodiac wrapped presents


Katie Keith had a bistro set out to show off her icecream prints.


Jenny M has been printing lots of tshirts.


I was pretty knackered and may have tested out my cushions before putting them on display


And now for the opening night!! Such a stressful day as I was organising the bar and running around with bags of ice cubes and plastic cups. 


Cakes were out


Booze was being poured


Shop was stocked


We took some cheeky photos of us with our walls before it got too busy! Here is me with all my work and a glass of pimms (yay!)


Jess with hers


and Holly.


The tutors then did illustration awards which were proper trophies of golden eagles! Super awesome, all were well deserved :).  
After this the photos end up a little bit more silly because of all the free cider, wine and champagne so not sure they are suitable for here... 


maybe just the one... 

The degree show is open 10-5 every day from now until June 26th so if you can come see it, there is all sorts of work up, from fine art and illustration to graphics and 3D design!

Handmade Arcade Take 2

So despite having a very important deadline on Tuesday I have been sneakily working away at making things to sell online and at craft fairs! I wanted to go to Handmade Arcade again because firstly - its always nice to chat with Nathan and Hayley and the other crafty people, and secondly, I figured this time it would be warmer and more people would be around than before christmas when it was freeezing!




I got a lift with some of the second years Ben, Miles and Bevin, who decided to get their faces painted in exchange for artwork :)


They had a lot of prints, cards and tshirts for sale and made this awesome collaborative drawing over the course of the day!





There were lots of beautiful crafty things for sale and we had some amazing vegan cakes (thanks Hayley)





My stall was in front of the Good Golly Miss Molly shop, I am in love with this place, they sell a huge range of handmade jewellery and accessories and hand printed cards and notebooks! If only I was rich...



Crown and Glory hair bows were teasing me through the window all day! 

Here is me all set up and some of the things I had offer, had an awesome day chilling out and chatting to crafty people, and managed to make a little bit of money too :) . If you are in the Exeter area I recommend heading down to Mccoys arcade and Fore Street, there are so many unique shops to explore.
