A little bit about me...

Well I'm brand spanking new to Blogspot, I do however have a personal blog over at Tumblr www.lauren-gregory.tumblr.com should you care to indulge...

A bit about me, I'm currently in my second year studying Textile Design for Fashion and Interiors at University for the Creative Arts. I didn't, however, begin my University journey on this course. After finishing my Art & Design Foundation I went to University to study Graphic Design. During the summer after my second year on the course, I made the bold decision that the course wasn't for me and I wanted a degree in a different specialism. In September I transferred campus' and began second year of the Textile Design for Fashion and Interiors course, specialising in print. The past five months have been a huge learning curve, I have gone from knowing nearly nothing about print, having no idea how to even dye fabric, to producing a 3m length with various layers of repeat designs and printing processes involved. I was anxious about transferring from Graphic Design to Printed Textiles, having never really specialised in Textiles before, but I have found that there is a very strong link between the two and the skills that I developed during those two years have helped me immensely. Changing course is the best thing I ever did and I want to share my journey and learning experiences here on my blog. I would recommend to anyone else stuck in a rut at University to transfer to something they enjoy, or thing they might enjoy more, and if anyone would like to talk to me about the process then be sure to sent me a message! laurengregoryprintdesign@gmail.com x
