Kingston også!

I dag gikk jeg på Utdanning og Yrkesmessa i Spektrum. Der snakket jeg med en lærer fra Fine Art-linjen på Kingston University. Hun så portføljen og skisseboka mi, og etter en ganske så lang prat (og litt overtalelse?) tilbød hun meg en plass på BA Fashion Design.

I følge henne var jeg nødt til å bevise at jeg virkelig er god nok -"if not they are going to kill me..."
Men, hun mente da likevel at det kunne gå bra og at Mrs. Ellinor kom til å like meg;)
Så, vi får se?

Problemet nå er bare å bestemme seg....

Skoleplass:)

Lørdag for et par uker siden var jeg på intervju med Mr. Gulliver fra Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication. Jeg viste ham portføljen min og snakket om hva jeg har gjort tidligere.
Det hele endte på best tenkelig vis - jeg signerte for tilbud om skoleplass der og da!
Utrolig spennende, skummelt og gøy på en gang...

London!

When I last year went to London on a school trip to visit museums, schools, theatres and markets to find inspiration and ideas, I knew where I had to study. Not only does the city offer an endless stream of inspiration and access to possibilities, but in the Great Britain you find a world of fashion and design which do not exist in the same way in Norway.

Two years ago an employee from where I went to kindergarten gave to me a thick bunch of my old drawings that she had kept. Those represented my life in the kindergarten, she told me. Ever since I was a little girl I have had all kind of creative hobbies. At school my artistic strength and creativity was developed further. I went to Waldorf School, where we did have a several creative courses. At high school I made my first ball gown, and I have continued years after years since. Before leaving school, we did not have graduate exams, but a year assignment. I chose the wedding dress as my theme and besides writing 70 pages of the wedding dress’ history, I made a dress. I draw a design that both fitted my opinion of a dream dress and that fitted the market. With guidance from a tailor, I sewed it to fit an average size. I started with sketches and learned the whole process that lead to a final product. I got an A for my assignment. The year after I went to a folk high school, where I joined the course of Costume and Fashion design. We sewed clothes both to ourselves and to theater- and musical performances. We also created jewelry, redesigned old things and clothes and learned to make hats.

This whole time my interest for fashion design has grown and I have been drawn to this creative world of clothes and art. As arts and craft was my favorite classes at school, I still love the times when I can sit down to draw, sew or read books about it. Since a long time ago I have been thinking of studying fashion design. Now, after several years of thinking, I have found out; there is no other option. There is nothing else I would rather do.

I am ready for the challenge and the opportunity of my life.
