With all the excitement of the last few weeks I forgot to update my blog! A week before my final assessment I had an interview after being shortlisted for the Great North Snow Dogs Competition at the National Glass Centre, with regards to the commission to decorate the fibreglass pooch in my own design.
The project with feature 50 dogs located around the north east, each decorated by an artist or designer to suit their themes and styles. The NGC will house one of these sculptures and I submitted an application with the intention of covering the dog in smooth glass shards, echoing the style of Marta Klonowska.
After receiving an email to inform me I was shortlisted, I attended an interview with a panel of five to explain my intentions with the hopes of being selected.
The next morning on the way into uni I received a phone call from the panel to inform me I was successful and would be commissioned to complete my design on the enormous model! I can not wait to embark on this project which is for such a fantastic cause and involves the community.
Make sure you keep your eyes peeled around the region for Snow Dogs in the upcoming months!
