The second event was ‘How to survive an open’ a talk in relation to the increasing popularity of ‘the open’ in the east midlands. The event was held at the Nottingham Castle where the Nottingham Annual Open took place.</p> <p>Emvans website and photographs below.</p> <p><a href="http://www.emvan.net/content/annual-overview" title="emvan">emvans website</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emvisartsnetwork/sets/72157631953114502" title="flirk">emvans flikr - photographs I took</a></p>http://coletteayers.tumblr.com/post/41117474678http://coletteayers.tumblr.com/post/41117474678Tue, 22 Jan 2013 07:44:41 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/265690fa34de017271bd19d25180d2ac/tumblr_mgzrwfKCiK1qhxdsqo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0c0c2427ef4abc01ac14b9cad53aa908/tumblr_mgzrwfKCiK1qhxdsqo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d27e8d1936341f375f0d22710b7eaac9/tumblr_mgzrwfKCiK1qhxdsqo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/acd8d88ab8d003a0e406920f989641fb/tumblr_mgzrwfKCiK1qhxdsqo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/565add74b05590390eca2a46467e45d8/tumblr_mgzrwfKCiK1qhxdsqo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8b8949ecabeddae3f96c4e8eda4c3530/tumblr_mgzrwfKCiK1qhxdsqo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fdeccb9af1aa97a4b0dd72640b075dbc/tumblr_mgzrwfKCiK1qhxdsqo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/990926efede65d3f20c4f6744723394f/tumblr_mgzrwfKCiK1qhxdsqo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Up and down the mountain.</p>http://coletteayers.tumblr.com/post/41127750848http://coletteayers.tumblr.com/post/41127750848Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:07:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/218ccc84398a218af134b66627e5fc62/tumblr_mgzqvzJs431qhxdsqo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/50cc1a659c79c6e8aa11e387033ea671/tumblr_mgzqvzJs431qhxdsqo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/38b3c1dcd5cb28a36786ebc2c9fa1d51/tumblr_mgzqvzJs431qhxdsqo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/60415e6871c72c930226c3d74c805794/tumblr_mgzqvzJs431qhxdsqo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fcc7fbcdca0ee1707cc759e79314ad07/tumblr_mgzqvzJs431qhxdsqo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Harbour, Bergen.</p>http://coletteayers.tumblr.com/post/41125795343http://coletteayers.tumblr.com/post/41125795343Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:45:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6e2637bab63ea65ead6bfa55a9bdea01/tumblr_mgzqnbwAEs1qhxdsqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Current computer screen display.

I have been very busy working on a few internships. In November I interned at Taylor Mcardle for 2 weeks, while here I produced various digital prints. I then went on to Mirjam Rouden for a month before christmas where I created designs by painting directly onto fabric which I really enjoyed. I gained a lot of experience of how a design studio works and what is expected of you as a designer. My designs are in both collections so maybe fingers crossed something will sell. Not that I will find out but ill have to look out for my prints I guess. </p> <p>For now I have set up a society6 account and will be designing and selling my work. Also if anyone wants to employ me as a print designer? Well, I&#8217;m available.</p> <p>Pictures to follow from my two placements.</p>http://coletteayers.tumblr.com/post/40100822463http://coletteayers.tumblr.com/post/40100822463Wed, 09 Jan 2013 11:47:14 -0500
