Teaching the History of Indian and Western Costume and Traditional Indian Textiles

  I spent about two weeks teaching a bunch of enthusiastic students the history of Indian and Western Fashion and Traditional Indian Textiles at the Kerala State Institute of Design, Kollam.

The weaving studio.

I couldn't decide which was my favourite - the owl or the chameleon

 The Foundation studies classroom which overlook the amphitheater. 

A wonderful campus with fantastic murals on the walls of the buildings.

 The Product design workshop. 

October's here

 I got up early last week, drew back the curtains in our bedroom and was greeted by this marvellous sight.

The magic of rain which was like a fine mist and early morning sunshine.

 At times I despair but a sight such as this rainbow gives me hope. I welcome all that October has to offer with open arms. At present it's rain, lots of it every night. A commission, which was quite unexpected and a teaching assignment.

Hope you have a great October.
