This week at college

A strange week at college - nothing for us part-timers on Tuesday while the full-timers were having their Unit 1 assessment. They laid their work and reflective journals out on a table ... and went away, leaving the tutors to spend the day in the room doing the assessment. So, a strange week for them too...
Wednesday morning - screen printing - while waiting for new screens to be used for printing fabric for bags, I used the old screens to print some envelope interiors and more large sheets -
Back in the other building, the designer-makers had set up their interim show - lots of interesting objects to ponder -

Thursday's "slight delays" on the Victoria line had me using a different route, via Oval station (Northern line - shown black on tube maps). Love those arrows on the old-fashioned signs -Screenprinting involved Victoria line and Piccadilly line blues - and trying to mix the right green for the District line -
More of the large sheets (still no new screens, pending delivery of the emulsion) - the blank areas are bits of fabric or sheets of paper, going toward my stockpile -
By the end of the day I'd been to the college shop to buy some A4 paper of various sorts, and printed a few of those (one side only) -
Also this week I've been thinking about the process of drawing, researching rather randomly, and borrowing more books from the library - notably Edgelands, which has a little chapter on "desire paths" and lots more that can be found in this peripheral "landscape of inattention". Psychogeography, maybe.
