Our second guest lecture of the year was Louise West, a contemporary textile artist who was talking about lace. Throughout her talk she spoke mainly about her university courses her BA and MA courses. She didn't really talk about what lace was but mainly spoke about her achievements and didn't mention that the creative industry will be an up and down journey and not a smooth ride. This is why I didn't really find this talk that interesting. Also I feel this had nothing to do with any with any group who was in there. The main thing was she seemed to be boasting about her achievements instead of talking about the actual process of her work which I believe many people probably found to be quite boring and they simply weren't interested.
This talk was easily the most uninteresting of the entire year this was mainly due to the fact that it wasn't related to anybody's course, I don't know whether the fashion and textiles group were in the room during the talk, if they were they it was relevant for them but not for us. Due to this the talk was really boring, I do feel that some of the fashion and textiles group may have also not been to interested.
