Clothes Show a big success!!

December 10th, 2009

Despite an early start and hours travelling up to Birmingham, the guys and girls of year 10 had a fantastic day at Clothes Show Live.  After watching the live fashion show they whiled away the  rest of the day by shopping at the many exhibitor’s stands.  With a full bus of clothes, accessories and cosmetics we made are way back down to Cornwall….. after such a busy day its hardly surprising that year 10 is significantly smaller today!

A test; can I get the poll to work?…

YR 10s – go to the textile links…..

September 20th, 2009

Hello all new GCSE people (not just the textile peeps either) remember to check out the ‘depart links’ pages on my site. There are many links there that will help you with your researching, making and general design well being.

**Especially for the textile girls – there are now some helpful links for Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano – remember you need to have a good knowledge of both these designers for your exam!!
