Year 10 Hand Stitching

I am absolutely wowed by the effort demonstrated lesson after lesson by two of my current Year 10 students. I have a wonderful class of incredibly talented students who are developing their skills and confidence in this subject at a rapid rate. I will post lots of their work but the two pieces that really shone for me this week were:

Isabelle Bailey's Hand stitching shell page. I adore the colours, page composition and stitching detail. 

Ria Duncan's Exquisitely hand stitched shells. Ria's detail and array of hand stitches have been done outstandingly.

Well done girls. Excellent effort, quality of work and dedication. I am very pleased with you both. Keep up the good work.

Year 9 creative mind maps

Hello again.

Welcome to a new and exciting term at ICC. We are lucky enough to be teaching G.C.S.E at year 9 this year and therefore you should expect a whole host of incredible work from our talented students.

Our first well done goes to Aimee Granell and Niamh Mahoney for their detailed, interesting and colourful mind maps filled with information and technique.

A fantastic start girls. Well done. The possibilities are endless.

Catering G.C.S.E

The standard and quality of work for this years Hospitality and Catering course has been exceptional. Here are two examples from the practical part of the exam. All elements were made from scratch including the sponge that went into the tiramisu. The accompanying paper work was both detailed and well structured. Well done Class of 2017.

Our hive of positivity

On Friday every student at our school dedicated two hours of their day to designing and making a bee to be displayed in our foyer. Here was the result. 600 beautifully coloured, designed and detailed Bees. A stunning display. Well done everyone.

Applique and Embellishment

Here are some examples of applique that I have been working on as sample pieces. I like the curved shapes and embellishments as they highlight the different fabrics and texture of the pieces.

Year 9 Sugar Skulls

Here are three examples of excellent 'final designs' from the final rotation of this academic year. Again we see fantastic designs, excellent use of colour and tonal shading and of course good annotation. Well done girls.
