New studio

So, yesterday was my first day on the 2-year Master of Fine Art course at Newcastle University. It was an intense day, with lots to take it. I met the other people on my course - there are 6 of us in the 1st year, and there are 8 students in the 2nd year. 

We met the current MFA course leader, Irene Brown, and Nadia Hebson who will be acting as the MFA course leader while Irene is on sabbatical for 9 months from September. Both gave us a very friendly welcome, and then we were allocated our studio space.

This is my new home!

In the afternoon we had a thorough tour of the department and facilities and then went through the course modules, timetables and handouts etc. Lots to take in!
