Collar now finished (24.11.10), taking a total of 591.25 hours to complete since the start on 23.1.10. It has taken 6 reels of Finca 60 thread (900 metres each), wound on a total of 3773 pairs of bobbins. I now have all the work completed for my exhibition next year - 23rd April until 7th August at Pickford's House museum, Friargate, Derby. (UK)
I will post a photograph of the finished piece very soon.
About Me
- Louise West
- I started university later in life than most of my collegues, being a mature student. I have gained a huge amount from my BA, and I am now furthering my knowledge and experience with engagement on MA ADAPT course which I started in January 2010. Some of my BA work is on this blog, along with other textiles and a commission connected with Lace. I am also teaching lace with a class held weekly in Nottingham. Other weekend courses to follow and talks in areas of lace history.
