textilegenerpolitics

a good week of teaching at NUA with year 3 tutorials underway I'm getting an understanding of what is a great bunch of people. Don't you just love the Pecha Kucha format - you can communicate a lot of stuff in a short amount of time - we did 40 peoples 5 slides with 20 seconds each with written feedback from everybody about everybody's presentations in a morning! Presentations from me this week include talking about storytelling for beginning, communication, the subconscious use of symbols, the power of design to change the world for good ......or evil.

The lecture by Mark Mann https://mannhouseofdesign.tumblr.com/ was excellent - talking about the value of research, the importance of passion and gender politics in textile design.
