When my invitation arrived I was actually slightly alarmed – I thought the class would be bigger. Instead there were just six students: Jane Chandler, Helena Rhodes, Sarskia Harris, Brenda Wren, Keela Moore and Jessica Turner. I guess my class will also be that small? Yikes! I was expecting more like 10 to 15 people...
The gallery was packed, but why on earth did I expect it to be quiet? Of course these six people would invite their families and their friends and their teachers. And I know that the gallery isn't even that big. Yet I was still surprised by how full (and hot) it was in there.
Tragically I was too dazed to make a note of who made what so I have no way of attaching names to any of the photographs I took. My favourites were the series of hats based on a journey up a Welsh mountain and the dresses inspired by insects! Alas, I failed to get a picture of my favourite bug dress, which was a cross between a dress, a beetle and samurai armour.
