UNIT X CONCLUSION

From the beginning of the project I knew that I wanted to create a product, rather than a body of samples. I have seen the final year of University as quite a challenge, mainly because I feel that we are told to determine where we believe our practice will fit into our future career. Although I adore weave and have very much enjoyed my time as a weave, my ultimate goal is to become a primary school teacher. Because of this I have found the task of contextualising my own work very difficult. This has been my main obstacle throughout Unit X. 

I see my work as one off high end pieces with a large range of "customers". I normally create the product and then once it is finished, try and decipher who that product is for. 

I believe that having a live brief in the practice unit focused my work well, and the lack of (dare I say) purpose has led me slightly astray this project. To excel, setting myself small specific briefs would have helped me to focus on a potential client and build a substantial collection aimed towards one price range and one client - if you will. 

I am very confident in my technical knowledge gathered over the past three years studying weave, and I definitely feel that I have shown this technical knowledge well in my final collection.
