(thanks Sammi for the lovely welcome sign)
Last night was the 1st open evening of this academic year and despite the horrible weather it was lovely to see so many interested, prospective students, especially the ones who came in saying they'd just come to be nosey because they weren't planning to do Textiles A level, but might think about it after seeing our student's work. A lot of students think Textiles is part of the DT department and involves a lot of writing about fabrics and producing multiple samples of different stitches sewn with a sewing machine. At Alton it's all about the fun of experimenting with producing beautiful sketchbooks containing a wide variety of techniques

At Alton it's all about the fun of experimenting with producing beautiful sketchbooks containing a wide variety of techniques
and making a lovely outcome at the end of every project; whether that's making a skirt, producing your own fabric and covering a chair, making a bag, reinventing an old suitcase or multiple other opportunities to produce beautiful products. Definitly hard work but a great deal of enjoyment too.
Anyway enough of my writing, here's some extra pictures showing part of the room before the visitors arrived.
Oh, I nearly forgot, there was also a display showing a project from our Btec course for students from local schools:
