Kia ora, it’s been a while. In my last post I mentioned that I was working on the Creative Fibre correspondence course ‘Certificate in Design 2’. After taking a break over the Christmas and New Year period I finally finished it last month and I’ve made a short video to show some of my process.
The course builds on the skills from an earlier course that I completed a few years ago. In that course you learn about the design process and different tools to use. In the Certificate in Design 2 course you use the design process as you choose a concept/theme for an exhibition, design and complete one work, virtually plan the exhibition and develop the concepts for several other works that would be part of it.
My exhibition and completed work were inspired by the pāua shell, in particular the contrast between its exterior and interior. Below is a photo of the finished work, the colour is not quite right, the joys of taking photos inside with bad lighting. The colour is more like the second photo below.

You captured the colors of the shells perfectly.
