Jane Bowler and Craft CO photography

December 01, 2016

Having already researched Jane Bowler for my interior project after experimenting with materials in order for me to gain some interesting prints and drawings, I learnt more about her at todays lecture. I found her ideas and relaxed attidtue inspiring and learn that it's who you know and making contacts that is vital. I also recognised that she makes a lot of garments that are necessarily wearable  which has made me think further about my fashion project- maybe I could make a statement piece that isn't particularly practical? In relation to my Research Report, Jane mentioned that she has started making earrings out of the materials she is using by connecting them together and selling them in Topshop to connect to a different type of audience and demographic. This has made me think about how you don't have to focus on just one audience when creating products or garments.

After the lecture a couple of us from the Craft Co group, took the promo photograph using my camera and tripod. We took various photos using the tools each one of us will be using to suggest the outcomes we will exhibiting and to hopefully cause some questioning for what we are making.

I also had my research report draft feedback with Jill, which has reassured me that my writing isn't as bad as I thought and has made me realised that I just need to continue with it in order to gain further feedback from it from my Sam Epps tutorial.
