KEELERGORDON WORK PLACEMENT

I did a second placement during the summer break down in London at Keelergordon for 3 weeks. This placement was completely different to my last one but still really good. It was a lot more hands on which I really liked and I learnt a lot about the print room, how to strip and expose screens and how to mix the dyes and pastes for printing. 
 I was lucky enough to be trusted to do some printing onto fabric for some of the sample garments that they create and to do some devoure and foiling. I really apprecieated the chance to work in the print room as I haven't really been in there in the last year as most my work had been digital. I also constructed the sample garments at Keelergordon which really helped to improve my sewing skills which will help in third year when it comes to constructing garments.
