Had a lovely day today at my graduation , nice to see everyone again and catch up.

Work now on display at knitting & Stitching Show Harrogate on the Bradford College Stand.
Called in Yesterday to see the Exhibition and had a lovely chat with Anthea Godfrey about her work on the Magna Carta Embroidery and the stitch work which went into the Pope Innocent the piece.
I find the detail of the work amazing. Its especially interesting after my research into fine cells work and their part in this project shows how talented they are.

Had a busy week preparing ideas for the christmas fair at the community college, I have been creating deisgns to transfer onto fabric using batik. The students have really enjoyed learning new techniques combining the use of  procion dyes and wax. We are hoping to combine the use of stitch to embellish the bags we are making.

Really busy week traveled to London to the Society Of Designer Craftsmen. Had a really useful mentoring session with Armando Magnino http://www.magnino.co.uk/  Called at the welcomelibrary and  British Library on the way home really interesting places.

Inspired by the Craftspace commission I have decided to carry on my research into local history and the connection to Lunar Society of whom Joseph Priestley was an influential member.
Science and historical discoveries have always been of interest and I find the context in which Joseph's discoveries were made very interesting. His link with Birmingham and the lunar Society impacted his life greatly and his connections to his home in Birstall to which he never returned.
