Hullo! I’m Curegreed, and every third Friday of the month I’ll be telling you all about what goes on at the degree in The Royal School of Needlework. I’m a student and I’ll be sharing as I’m going. It’s nothing official, but Mr X Stitch thought it’d be interesting. Here goes nothing!
———————————–
Due to the Easter Holidays appearing in the middle of this unit, Contemporary Applications (AKA Kit making) is *still* going on. It’s been a very odd unit compared to usual- all business and research, less creativity than we’re used to, but it’s nice to rein it in every now and again.
I have been using this unit to my full, unadulterated advantage, I will not lie. I chose to explore craftivist kits, which basically means I can chat to my pals and call it work. Be it via email to Rayna at Radical Cross Stitch, or over a cup of tea and some stitch with Sarah and the other kidz of The Craftivist Collective, I’m workin’ hard! That’s the beauty of doing a course in something that is so integral to your life anyway- you can mould it to suit you and play to your strengths. Sure, I’ve been working hard to create a pattern, brand and identity of my own, but it fits into everything else. I’m not in a position yet to show you how far I’ve come, so instead you may have some pictures of the fun that The London Craftivist Collective and I have been having.
I made some patterns (as far as the RSN are concerned, they are practices for my final outcome… Capsice?) for the Craftivist Collective’s current campaign – trying to encourage people to vote in the upcoming UK election. You can see one being practiced by a first time stitcher in the above photograph, and to stitch your own you should go to The Craftivist Collective’s site.
