Visit to Spode

http://www.spode.co.uk/

This was my classes second visit to the Spode Factory and it was freezing!!

 

''The oldest English pottery company operating on the same site, since 1770, and the birthplace of fine bone china, Spode offers regular factory tours lasting about 1 1/2 hours and connoisseur tours lasting 2 1/2 hours. In the Craft Centre, visitors can see demonstrations of engraving, lithography, hand painting, printing, and clay casting''.

 

 

I enjoyed making a chair sculpture from debris that we found and threw onto the chair.
We wanted to create something  amazing and creative and I think we did a very good job!

                        

 

Staffordshire University Open Day - Part 2

My second visit to Staffordshire University, Stoke Campus.

 

On this open day I went for another visit to the Graphic Design and Illustration classrooms, followed by a tour of the University's Photography studios, and a more detailed talk about the Photography course. I managed to 'squeeze' another visit to the Squeeze Box during the day-mmmm!!
