Hi all,
I trust you're all enjoying your mid term break! I wanted to let you know that Jennifer Slattery has confirmed for Monday, the 16th of November. We will meet at her studio at the Old Butcher Studios, 72 - 74 Benburb Street, at 10 am. Be on time and remember to bring note taking supplies. Any questions, please leave a comment. For a bit of inspiration, and to get an idea of the kind of products Jennifer designs, have a look at her website:

This blog is an experiment, currently in its fifth year, and is dedicated to communicating with students in their final year of the Fiber Art Higher National Diploma course at Ballyfermot College in Dublin, Ireland. As part of their Professional Practice unit, they will begin a blog to document their experience at the college. Students from previous years are encouraged to continue to use the format, and to network with current students.

Welcome!
You are all very welcome to your second year on the Fiber Arts Higher National Diploma course. Take a few minutes to orient yourself to the blog: you will notice that posts from last years' class can be viewed below, and a list of links can be seen to the right of the posts, along with a 'Follow Me' gadget. Click on this gadget and this blog will be added to your dashboard for you. Tip: if you bookmark your dashboard, it will be easier for you to find. Please feel free to leave comments in the comment box below. Once you do, I will receive an e mail notice, and will respond within a day or so.
We will be working on our design development and making, while investigating our progression aims. Researching your next step following on from this course will be a very individual process. On the sidebar to the left, you will find helpful links to assist you in this process. Whether you want to start a business, continue with third level education, or find your way in a technologically sophisticated, online marketplace, research is of the utmost importance.
Remember to bring your typed paragraph about your progression aims next week. I will then individually direct your continuing research.
Take care, and see you next week!

Portfolio Reviews/Interviews
Hi all,
As promised, I am posting below the schedule for portfolio reviews/interviews. Remember to send me your answers to 20 interview questions at: gwen.fagan@bcfe.ie.
A gentle reminder to all, as I won't be seeing you as a class for a while: remember to continue with your progression aims research.
Monday, Feb 23: Kirsten and Magda
Monday, March 2: Beata and Mary
Monday, March 9: Theresa and Fiona
Include in your portfolios: sketchbooks, works in progress, work from first year (like technique files from Printed Textiles), 3D pieces are fine, but limit the number for everyone's sanity. Bring the work you're most proud of, and make sure you have examples across media as well. Look sharp, and I'll see you at interview!
