I N S P I R A T I O N
Today we had a lecture with designer and artist Karen Nicol. Karen is an embroidery and mixed media artist, and works with both fashion and interiors. It was really interesting to hear about all of her experiences both in the industry and through her self employment. Her lecture was really exciting and I felt that she was very genuine. It was completely invaluable and I have learnt a lot today. It was both daunting and exciting listening to her stories of her experiences, working to deadlines and feeling overwhelmed with work, having only 24 hours to both come up with an idea, and make it a reality.
Karen gave us a lot of advice, a couple of the main points were, stick to deadlines and be a good time keeper. Organisation is key. Experiment and try lots of new things all of the time. Test and Sample. I really enjoyed her lecture and I loved how she was able to work all over the world. This is definitely something that I want to be able to do in the future and it was inspirational to hear that she could do this as part of her job.
